MREMAP_DONTUNMAP is an additional flag that can be used with
MREMAP_FIXED to move a mapping to a new address. Normally, mremap(2)
would then tear down the old vma so subsequent accesses to the vma
cause a segfault. However, with this new flag it will keep the old
vma with zapping PTEs so any access to the old VMA after that point
will result in a pagefault.
This feature will find a use in ChromeOS along with userfaultfd.
Specifically we will want to register a VMA with userfaultfd and then
pull it out from under a running process. By using MREMAP_DONTUNMAP we
don't have to worry about mprotecting and then potentially racing with
VMA permission changes from a running process.
This feature also has a use case in Android, Lokesh Gidra has said
that "As part of using userfaultfd for GC, We'll have to move the physical
pages of the java heap to a separate location. For this purpose mremap
will be used. Without the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flag, when I mremap the java
heap, its virtual mapping will be removed as well. Therefore, we'll
require performing mmap immediately after. This is not only time consuming
but also opens a time window where a native thread may call mmap and
reserve the java heap's address range for its own usage. This flag
solves the problem."
