The above is still not totally correct, and it should have been:

 		end_addr = vec_addr + bv->bv_offset + bv->bv_len - 1;
 		if (same_page && (end_addr & PAGE_MASK) != page_addr)
 			return false;

Also bv->bv_len should be guaranteed as being bigger than zero.

It also shows that it is quite easy to figure out the last page as
wrong, :-(


Thanks,
