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. We have a driver which changes vm_flags, and this bug is found by our testcases. Fixes: d70cec89 ("mm: mmap: merge vma after call_mmap() if possible") Signed-off-by:
