Do we really need region_collected variable? Can't we manage with rc
only?

Is bytes_dumped < source_len is good enough instead of <=. There are
a 
couple of warnings/errors reported by the checkpatch script.
Please address them in the next version.

Hi Sourabh, 

bytes_dumped < source_len should also be correct, but "<=" is more
expressive. Why not leave such optimizations to compiler.

For the region_collected, RC should be used to manage the return code,
so I as per me it is more appropriate to use new variable here. Or
maybe, type the condition in the bracket itself(?).

Thanks for pointing out the checkpatch bugs, I'll send a revision soon.
