Do you mean line 676?

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.12-rc3/source/mm/mremap.c#L676

I'm not sure whether it'll work for MREMAP_DONTUNMAP, since IIUC
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP only works for the remap case with no size change, however in
that case in vma_to_resize() we'll bail out even earlier than line 676 when
checking against the size:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.12-rc3/source/mm/mremap.c#L667

So IIUC we'll still need the change as Hugh suggested previously.

Thanks,
