OK, kind of expected it seems like at this point.

Current status - I litearlly cannot repro this even doing exactly what you're
doing, so I wonder if your exact GPU or a file system you're using or something
is a factor here and there's something which implements a custom .mmap callback
or vm_ops->close() that is somehow interfacing with this, or if this being a
file thing is somehow a factor.

Recreating the scenario as best I can with anon mappings, it seems immediately
before it triggers we are in the position on the left in the range with the
problematic node, and then immediately after we are in the right (plus an
invalid entry/pivot for 0x68000000).

The final action that triggers the problem is mapping [0x1b90000, 0x1bae000)
PROT_NONE, MAP_RESERVE which merges with A and D, and we unmap B and C:

01740000-017c0000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0       01740000-017c0000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0
017c0000-01b40000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0	      017c0000-01b40000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
01b40000-01b50000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0	      01b40000-01b50000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0
01b50000-01b56000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0	      01b50000-01b56000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
01b56000-01b60000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0	      01b56000-01b60000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0
01b60000-01b70000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0	      01b60000-01b70000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0
01b70000-01b80000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0	      01b70000-01b80000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0
01b80000-01b86000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0	      01b80000-01b86000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
01b86000-01b90000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 * A   01b86000-68000000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0
01b90000-01b91000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 * B   < invalid 0x68000000 entry/pivot >
01b91000-01bae000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 * C
01bae000-68000000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 * D

It seems based on some of the VMA flags that we _must_ be mapping files here,
e.g. some have VM_EXEC and others are mising VM_MAYREAD which indicates a
read-only file mapping. Probably given low addresses we are setting up a binary
set of mappings or such? Would align with PROT_NONE mappings also.

This really makes me think, combined with the fact I really _cannot_ repro this
(on intel GPU hardware and ext4 file system) that there are some 'special'
mappings going on here.

The fact we're unmapping 2 VMAs and then removing a final one in a merge does
suggest something is going wrong in the interaction between these two events.

I wonder if the merge logic is possibly struggling with the (detached but
present) VMAs still being there as we try to expand an existing VMA?

Though my money's on a call_mmap() or .close() call doing something weird here.

Investigation carries on...
