This function mspec_mmap also need modification...
And you can change int to unsigned long.

static int
mspec_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
					enum mspec_page_type type)
{
	struct vma_data *vdata;
	int pages, vdata_size, flags = 0;

	if (vma->vm_pgoff != 0)
		return -EINVAL;

	if ((vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED) == 0)
		return -EINVAL;

	if ((vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE) == 0)
		return -EPERM;

	pages = (vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
	vdata_size = sizeof(struct vma_data) + pages * sizeof(long);
	if (vdata_size <= PAGE_SIZE)
		vdata = kzalloc(vdata_size, GFP_KERNEL);
	else {
		vdata = vzalloc(vdata_size);
		flags = VMD_VMALLOCED;
	}
	if (!vdata)
		return -ENOMEM;
