Hugh managed to reproduce the issue on his suse laptop, and I came up with a fix. The problem was that in mremap, the new vma's vm_{start,end,pgoff} fields need to be updated before calling anon_vma_clone() so that the new vma will be properly indexed. Patch attached. I expect this should also explain Jiri's reported failure involving splitting THP pages during mremap(), even though we did not manage to reproduce that one. ---------------------------------8<------------------------------- From: Michel Lespinasse <walken@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 16:43:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm anon rmap: in mremap, set the new vma's position before anon_vma_clone() anon_vma_clone() expects new_vma->vm_{start,end,pgoff} to be correctly set so that the new vma can be indexed on the anon interval tree. copy_vma() was failing to do that, which broke mremap().
