Hi there,

I've noticed that a Segmentation fault occurs when running 'insmod elastio-snap'.

Environment: Kernel: 4.19.0-26-amd64 Distribution: Debian 10 (with Xen hypervisor)

Error message:

root@debian-xen:~/elastio-snap# insmod src/elastio-snap.ko debug=1
Segmentation fault

The error message seems to be related to the special kernel of Debian Xen hypervisor. It appears to be encountering an error while handling inject syscall table, specifically 'disable_page_protection'. I'm noting this down for reference, and will provide updates if there are any developments.
