The patch titled Subject: mm/mmap.c: fix mmap return value when vma is merged after call_mmap() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fix-mmap-return-value-when-vma-is-merged-after-call_mmap.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/fix-mmap-return-value-when-vma-is-merged-after-call_mmap.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/fix-mmap-return-value-when-vma-is-merged-after-call_mmap.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Liu Zixian <liuzixian4@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap.c: fix mmap return value when vma is merged after call_mmap() On success, mmap should return the begin address of newly mapped area, but patch "mm: mmap: merge vma after call_mmap() if possible" set vm_start of newly merged vma to return value addr. Users of mmap will get wrong address if vma is merged after call_mmap(). We fix this by moving the assignment to addr before merging vma.
