It occurred to me that if vma and new_vma are one and the same, then vma_relink_file will not do a good job of linking it after itself - in that pretty unlikely case when move_page_tables fails. And more generally, whenever copy_vma's vma_merge succeeds, we have no guarantee that old vma comes before new_vma in the i_mmap lists, as we need to satisfy Rajesh's point: that ordering is only guaranteed in the newly allocated case. We have to abandon the ordering method when/if we move from lists to prio_trees, so this patch switches to the less glamorous use of i_shared_sem exclusion, as in my prio_tree mremap.
