IDGI. The only thing in kiov[...] you are every reading is
->iov_base. And you fetch it once, right after the assignment.
Why bother with allocating the array at all?
pages[n] = virt_to_page((void *)start + n * PAGE_SIZE);
would do just as well, not to mention the fact that since you reject
vmalloc and kmap, you might simply do
page = virt_to_page(start);
for (int n = 0; n < page_count; n++)
get_page(pages[n] = page + n);
instead...
