The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/mremap: allow moves within the same VMA for stack moves has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mremap-allow-moves-within-the-same-vma-for-stack-moves.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mremap: allow moves within the same VMA for stack moves Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2023 15:13:23 +0000 For the stack move happening in shift_arg_pages(), the move is happening within the same VMA which spans the old and new ranges. In case the aligned address happens to fall within that VMA, allow such moves and don't abort the mremap alignment optimization. In the regular non-stack mremap case, we cannot allow any such moves as will end up destroying some part of the mapping (either the source of the move, or part of the existing mapping). So just avoid it for stack moves.
