Subject[PATCH for v6.1 regression] mm, mremap: fix mremap() expanding vma with addr inside vma
Date
Since 6.1 we have noticed random rpm install failures that were tracked
to mremap() returning -ENOMEM and to commit ca3d76b0aa80 ("mm: add
merging after mremap resize").

The problem occurs when mremap() expands a VMA in place, but using an
starting address that's not vma->vm_start, but somewhere in the middle.
The extension_pgoff calculation introduced by the commit is wrong in
that case, so vma_merge() fails due to pgoffs not being compatible.
Fix the calculation.

By the way it seems that the situations, where rpm now expands a vma
from the middle, were made possible also due to that commit, thanks to
the improved vma merging. Yet it should work just fine, except for the
buggy calculation.

Hi, this fixes a regression in 6.1 so please process ASAP so that stable
6.1.y can get the fix.
