Update the patch according to Naoya's comment, I also run

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] pagemap: fix buffer overflow in add_to_pagemap()

In struc pagemapread:

struct pagemapread {
    int pos, len;
    pagemap_entry_t *buffer;
    bool v2;
};

pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of buffer,
it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_to_pagemap() for checking
buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and random
kernel panic issue.

Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.
