From: Li Xinhai <lixinhai.lxh@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: mremap: unlink anon_vmas when mremap with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP success mremap with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP can move all page table entries to new vma, which means all pages allocated for the old vma are not relevant to it anymore, and the relevant anon_vma links needs to be unlinked, in nature the old vma is much like been freshly created and have no pages been fault in. But we should not do unlink, if the new vma has effectively merged with the old one.
