Can we see what happens when it "crashes" please? Why did you feel the
need to allocate memory in this fashion? Was it not possible simply to
allocate a large virtually contiguous space with vmalloc or use mem
caches for general objects? What was missing the standard Linux VM
which meant you had to do it this way?
