Nit: please remove the outer parentheses (it is already done for
similar finctuons above).

This could be precalculated and put as a flag into
pagemap_scan_private - it is kernel-private structure and there are a
few spare bits in `flags` if you'd prefer not to add an explicit
boolean.

Since p->found_pages is only ever increased in `pagemap_scan_output()`
and that function is only called for GET or GET+WP operations, maybe
the logic could be folded to pagemap_scan_output() to avoid
duplication?
In this function the calculation is used only when WP op is done to
split the HP if n_pages limit would be hit, but if using plain WP
(without GET) it doesn't make sense to use the limit.
(pagemap_scan_output() is trivial enough so I think it could be pulled
inside the spinlocked region.)

Why `is_written` is not checked? If is_written is false, then the WP
op should be a no-op and so won't need TLB flushing, will it? [Same
for the PTE case below.]

Shouldn't this be ENOSPC, conveying that the operation would overflow
the n_pages limit?

Oh, this case does check `is_written` before flushing TLB, contrary to
what the cases above do.

Nit: If the page flags don't match (wouldn't be output), the limit
would not be hit and the calculation is unnecessary. But if it was
done in pagemap_scan_output() instead after all the flags checks...

If p.vec_len would not count the entry held in `cur` (IOW: vec_len =
WALK_SIZE - 1), then pagemap_scan_output() wouldn't need the big
comment about adding or subtracting 1 when checking for overflow. The
output vector needs to have space for at least one entrry to make GET
useful. Maybe `cur` could be renamed or annotated to express that it
always holds the last entry?

Can `empty_slots` be zero here? I don't see anything prohibiting this case.

( If not counting `cur`, it would be min(p.vec_len, empty_slots - 1); )

Nit: p.cur.len can be non-zero only if we do a GET (or GET+WP) operation.

Nit: sizeof(*p.cur); (even though this is the same type)

The cast should be in do_pagemap_scan() as if there comes another
`cmd`, then it might use a different argument type.
