Hi,
Is there a recommended way for a driver to take an
application provided virtual address while executing
in the syscall context of that same application and
find the corresponding vm_area_struct (if exists for
that address) that spans that virtual address?

down_read(current->mm->mmap_sem);
vma = find_vma(current->mm, address);
...
up_read(current->mm->mmap_sem);
