;-)
But thanks for going through the test cases so meticulously!
That being said, would you mind including the output before and after
this patch in the changelog?

for the fix itself, but I think the changelog needs a bit more
information:

This is essentially a revert of the aforementioned commit.
What you added instead is the fixing of @prev: only when mbind is
vma-aligned can the new area be potentially merged into the preceding
one. Otherwise that original vma is the one we need to check for
compatibility with the mbind range and leave the original prev alone:
[prev ][vma ]
|start
[prev ][vma][mbind vma ]
This should NOT attempt to merge mbind vma with prev (and forget about
and leak vma, iirc), but check if vma and the mbind vma are compatible
or should be separate areas.
Could you please add something to that extent to the changelog?
