Hi, Qian, Shakeel

Thanks for testing.

Sounds I missed some case to handle. anon_vma_clone() now would be called in
vma_adjust, which is a different case when it is introduced.


Well, I have to correct my statement. The reason is we may did something more
in anon_vma_clone().

Here is a quick fix, while I need to go through all the cases carefully.

Oops, I've overlooked this case too.

You have to check src->anon_vma
otherwise in  __split_vma or copy_vma dst could pick completely random anon_vma.

Also checking prev will not hurt, just to be sure.

So, something like this should work:

if (!dst->anon_vma && src->anon_vma &&
    prev && pprev && pprev->anon_vma == src->anon_vma)
      dst->anon_vma = prev->anon_vma;

BTW, do you have the specific test case? So that I could verify my change. The
kernel build test doesn't trigger this.

Thanks a lot :-)
