Subject: [PATCH] mm/mremap: reset unfaulted VMA page offset for
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP
Uniquely an mremap() invocation using the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flag can reset
a faulted VMA into an unfaulted one.
It does so after the page tables have been moved to the copied VMA with
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaving the old VMA in place which is naturally unfaulted
as the page tables it had are no longer present.
However, in doing so, it violates the invariant that the anonymous page
offset of an unfaulted VMA is vma->vm_start >> PAGE_SHIFT.
This is because a VMA may have been faulted in, mremap()'d (causing a
delta between its page offset and vma->vm_start >> PAGE_SHIFT), and then
mremap()'d again with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP resulting in the unfaulting.
This condition is a violation of a fundamental assumption in mm, but now
also triggers an assert in assert_sane_pgoff() which explicitly checks for
this condition.
Correct it by resetting the VMA's page offset at the point of completing
the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP operation.
