The patch titled Subject: mm: mmap: merge vma after call_mmap() if possible has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmap-merge-vma-after-call_mmap-if-possible.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: mmap: merge vma after call_mmap() if possible The vm_flags may be changed after call_mmap() because drivers may set some flags for their own purpose. As a result, we failed to merge the adjacent vma due to the different vm_flags as userspace can't pass in the same one. Try to merge vma after call_mmap() to fix this issue.
