Subject: mempolicy: mbind_range() set_policy() after vma_merge()
v2.6.34 commit 9d8cebd4bcd7 ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem") introduced
vma_merge() to mbind_range(); but unlike madvise, mlock and mprotect, it
put a "continue" to next vma where its precedents go to update flags on
current vma before advancing: that left vma with the wrong setting in the
infamous vma_merge() case 8.
v3.10 commit 1444f92c8498 ("mm: merging memory blocks resets mempolicy")
tried to fix that in vma_adjust(), without fully understanding the issue.
v3.11 commit 3964acd0dbec ("mm: mempolicy: fix mbind_range() &&
vma_adjust() interaction") reverted that, and went about the fix in the
right way, but chose to optimize out an unnecessary mpol_dup() with a
prior mpol_equal() test. But on tmpfs, that also pessimized out the vital
call to its ->set_policy(), leaving the new mbind unenforced.
Just delete that optimization now (though it could be made conditional on
vma not having a set_policy). Also remove the "next" variable: it turned
out to be blameless, but also pointless.
