Subject: mm/mempolicy: fix set_mempolicy_home_node() previous VMA pointer
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2023 13:24:32 -0400
The two users of mbind_range() are expecting that mbind_range() will
update the pointer to the previous VMA, or return an error. However,
set_mempolicy_home_node() does not call mbind_range() if there is no VMA
policy. The fix is to update the pointer to the previous VMA prior to
continuing iterating the VMAs when there is no policy.
Users may experience a WARN_ON() during VMA policy updates when updating
a range of VMAs on the home node.
