Subject: Fix /proc/pid/pagemap end address calculation
From: Dave Boutcher <boutcher@xxxxxxxxxx>
When dumping vma information the pagemap_read routine calculates the
minimum of what the user asks for and the end of the vma. Unfortunately
the code uses vma->vm_start rather than vma->vm_end which can result in the
end address being before the start, and a nasty never-ending loop in the
kernel.
