Hi Usama,

Please, cc me on the whole thread.  I didn't get the patch 1/2 or the
cover letter.

v3 is still in linux-next and this note is quite hidden in the middle of
the commit message.

I'm curious if you tested reverting 912efa17e512. Did the new versions
of this patch still catch the original issue?

MAX_LINE_LENGTH is no longer used after check_for_pattern was dropped.

Can't the previous defines and file handling functions also go the
vm_util.h?

This will overflow several times during TEST_ITERATIONS.  While it is
not broken, since we care about causing the page fault, it is not
obvious.  Can you add a comment or do something like this instead?

  map[0] = !map[0];
