I'll update it to:

Yeah, I'll update.

Yeah, this is why I've removed all that logic here. The vec_len is set to 0
and vec_buf to NULL. This handles all the cases.

I'll remove the comment. PAGEMAP_WALK_SIZE >> PAGE_SHIFT is a constant
already, just a fancy one.

Altough if we can increase 512 to bigger number, it'll be better in terms
of performance. I'm not sure how much we can increase it.

Just looked at it, n and return code of pagemap_scan_flush_buffer() should
be long. Changed.

I'll update. !buf seems more reasonable.

It isn't needed for the loop. But we need to note down the ending address
of walk. We can switch to using p.arg.walk_end for better logical reason.
I'll update code.

Can be done.
