Peter & Andreas,
Thank you very much for your help.
I understood that the kernel error numbers are limited. The largest
error number for i386 (kernel 2.6) is 131 so far. Assume that the
virtual address returned from do_mmap_pgoff will never exceed (unsigned
long)(-1000

There are lots of functions in the Linux kernel that are declared as
unsigned long, but the return value is negative integer while error
occurred. An example of these functions is do_mmap_pgoff in mm/mmap.c,
which is defined as:
unsigned long do_mmap_pgoff()
