Patch series "mm/uffd: Fix vma merge/split", v2. This series contains two patches that fix vma merge/split for userfaultfd on two separate issues. Patch 1 fixes a regression since 6.1+ due to something we overlooked when converting to maple tree apis. The plan is we use patch 1 to replace the commit "2f628010799e (mm: userfaultfd: avoid passing an invalid range to vma_merge())" in mm-hostfixes-unstable tree if possible, so as to bring uffd vma operations back aligned with the rest code again. Patch 2 fixes a long standing issue that vma can be left unmerged even if we can for either uffd register or unregister. Many thanks to Lorenzo on either noticing this issue from the assert movement patch, looking at this problem, and also provided a reproducer on the unmerged vma issue [1]. [1] https://gist.github.com/lorenzo-stoakes/a11a10f5f479e7a977fc456331266e0e This patch (of 2): It seems vma merging with uffd paths is broken with either register/unregister, where right now we can feed wrong parameters to vma_merge() and it's found by recent patch which moved asserts upwards in vma_merge() by Lorenzo Stoakes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZFunF7DmMdK05MoF@FVFF77S0Q05N.cambridge.arm.com/ It's possible that "start" is contained within vma but not clamped to its start. We need to convert this into either "cannot merge" case or "can merge" case 4 which permits subdivision of prev by assigning vma to prev. As we loop, each subsequent VMA will be clamped to the start. This patch will eliminate the report and make sure vma_merge() calls will become legal again. One thing to mention is that the "Fixes: 29417d292bd0" below is there only to help explain where the warning can start to trigger, the real commit to fix should be |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
