Isn't vm space of vm manager still used even if any user-space process
doesn't use the region? And if mmap is failed, then the user-space
process will be terminated. Do you think it can be re-tried? However,
mmap system call never return -EAGAIN. Is it reasonable to you? I cannot
understand how the mmap offset can be re-used. So can you show me some
example?
