This is a weird case: I would expect the top 4k to be unmapped to
leave room of ERR_PTR, etc.

Please just use the standard add overflow checks from the kernel. See
include/linux/overflow.h

Specifically, check_add_overflow(operand1, operand2, &result). I
assume something like:

if (check_add_overflow(ip, ll, &ll_end))
   freak_out();

?
