Many thanks for your reply.

Yes, I think so too. We do deny_write_access and mapping_map_writable on @file, so we should undo all of this on @file.
Since @file is unchanged over the second vma_merge() time, we'are using the correct @file to undo our temporary denial count.

But how should I check this explicitly ? I can't find out a way to do this. Could you please figure it out for me?
Thanks again.
