Sigh this patch is buggy.

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Arguably the line above is safe, but unfortunately it has the
possibility of suffering from overflow.

Overflow handling you are removing here.

I suspect the proper way to handle this is to move the test for
overflow earlier so the code looks something like:

        end_vaddr = mm->task_size;

        src = *ppos;
        svpfn = src / PM_ENTRY_BYTES;

        /* watch out for wraparound */
        start_vaddr = end_vaddr;
        if (svpfn < (ULONG_MAX >> PAGE_SHIFT))
                start_vaddr = untagged_addr(svpfn << PAGE_SHIFT);

        /* Ensure the address is inside the task */
        if (start_vaddr > mm->task_size)
                start_vaddr = end_vaddr;
