I may be missing something here, but is this not essentially 'if the address is
below a used region, write a single null byte into the buffer and continue,
assuming we are now in a used area?'

This doesn't seem right, but I am happy to be corrected (perhaps we only expect
to be a single byte below a start region?)

The kernel bot has already picked up on this paren issue :)

This seems very delicate now as going forward, vm _could_ be NULL. In fact, a
later patch in the series then goes on to use vm and assume it is not null (will
comment).

I feel we should be very explicit after here asserting that vm != NULL.

For example here, I feel that this ternary should be reversed and based on
whether vm is null, unles we expect vm to ever be non-null _and_ flags to be
set?
