The basic idea is setting param len to ULONG_MAX. while will overflow if PAGE_ALIGN(len).

Here are some simple examples:

mlock(addr, ULONG_MAX);
set_mempolicy_home_node(addr, ULONG_MAX, 0, 0);
mbind(addr, ULONG_MAX, MPOL_BIND, &nodemask, max_node, MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL);
msync(addr, ULONG_MAX, MS_ASYNC);
