Subject: mm/mprotect: Fix successful vma_merge() of next in do_mprotect_pkey()
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2023 16:20:55 -0500
If mprotect_fixup() successfully calls vma_merge() and replaces vma and
the next vma, then the tmp variable in the do_mprotect_pkey() is not
updated to point to the new vma end. This results in the loop detecting a
gap between VMAs that does not exist. Fix the faulty value of tmp by
setting it to the end location of the vma iterator at the end of the loop.
