Please explain the reason for segfault.

Add a blank line here. Makes it easier to read.

Verify the requested mremap destination
address does not overlap any existing mappings
by using mmap's FIXED_NOREPLACE flag and checking

Spell this out fully - MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE
for the EEXIST error code. Keep incrementing the
destination address until a valid mapping is found
or max address is reached.


Essentially mremap() doesn't check for overlaps and removes
or overwrites existing mappings? The way you are fixing it
is by verifying by calling mremap() with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE
flag and check for EEXIST.

What happens when max address is reached?

Same comment on # of chars per line in commit log. Also

This returns bool 0 (false) 1 (true)

Please name the routine - is_remap_region_valid() and change it to

Change it to "Couldn't" - also this message doesn't look right. We hav't
looked for valid region yet and it just exceeds the limits?
