Right you are. Just checked the __find_vmap_area() it returns VA of the address
it
belongs to. Initially i was thinking that addr have to be exactly as va->start
only,
so i was wrong.

Based on that offset can be > 0, checking "offset + n" with va->va_end is OK.

if (offset + n > area->va_end)
    usercopy_abort("vmalloc", NULL, to_user, offset, n);
