> 714965ca8252 ("mm/mmap: start distinguishing if vma can be removed in
> mergeability test"). The shmem vmas have a vma_ops->close callback
> that decrements shm_nattch, and we remove the vma without calling it.
>
> vma_merge() has thus historically avoided merging vma's with
> vma_ops->close and commit 714965ca8252 was supposed to keep it that way.
> It relaxed the checks for vma_ops->close in can_vma_merge_after()
> assuming that it is never called on a vma that would be a candidate for
> removal. However, the vma_merge() code does also use the result of this
> check in the decision to remove a different vma in the merge case 7.

> A robust solution would be to refactor vma_merge() code in a way that
> the vma_ops->close check is only done for vma's that are actually going
> to be removed, and not as part of the preliminary checks. That would
> both solve the existing bug, and also allow additional merges that the
> checks currently prevent unnecessarily in some cases.
>
> However to fix the existing bug first with a minimized risk, and for
> easier stable backports, this patch only adds a vma_ops->close check to
> the buggy case 7 specifically. All other cases of vma removal are
> covered by the can_vma_merge_before() check that includes the test for
> vma_ops->close.
