mm: fix regression in remap_file_pages() emulation
Grazvydas Ignotas has reported a regression in remap_file_pages() emulation. Testcase: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <assert.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #define SIZE (4096 * 3) int main(int argc, char **argv) { unsigned long *p; long i; p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); return -1; } for (i = 0; i < SIZE / 4096; i++) p[i * 4096 / sizeof(*p)] = i; if (remap_file_pages(p, 4096, 0, 1, 0)) { perror("remap_file_pages"); return -1; } if (remap_file_pages(p, 4096 * 2, 0, 1, 0)) { perror("remap_file_pages"); return -1; } assert(p[0] == 1); munmap(p, SIZE); return 0; } The second remap_file_pages() fails with -EINVAL. The reason is that remap_file_pages() emulation assumes that the target vma covers whole area we want to over map. That assumption is broken by first remap_file_pages() call: it split the area into two vma. The solution is to check next adjacent vmas, if they map the same file with the same flags.
