The patch titled
Subject: mm: mempolicy: fix mbind_range() && vma_adjust() interaction
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-mempolicy-fix-mbind_range-vma_adjust-interaction.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: mempolicy: fix mbind_range() && vma_adjust() interaction
vma_adjust() does vma_set_policy(vma, vma_policy(next)) and this
is doubly wrong:
1. This leaks vma->vm_policy if it is not NULL and not equal to
next->vm_policy.
This can happen if vma_merge() expands "area", not prev (case 8).
2. This sets the wrong policy if vma_merge() joins prev and area,
area is the vma the caller needs to update and it still has the
old policy.
Revert 1444f92c "mm: merging memory blocks resets mempolicy" which
introduced these problems.
Change mbind_range() to recheck mpol_equal() after vma_merge() to
fix the problem 1444f92c tried to address.
