The quilt patch titled Subject: tools/testing/selftests: add tests for !tgt, src mremap() merges has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was tools-testing-selftests-add-tests-for-tgt-src-mremap-merges.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Lorenzo Stoakes lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com Subject: tools/testing/selftests: add tests for !tgt, src mremap() merges Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 20:11:48 +0000
Test that mremap()'ing a VMA into a position such that the target VMA on merge is unfaulted and the source faulted is correctly performed.
We cover 4 cases:
1. Previous VMA unfaulted:
copied -----| v |-----------|.............| | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| |-----------|.............| prev
target = prev, expand prev to cover.
2. Next VMA unfaulted:
copied -----| v |.............|-----------| |(faulted VMA)| unfaulted | |.............|-----------| next
target = next, expand next to cover.
3. Both adjacent VMAs unfaulted:
copied -----| v |-----------|.............|-----------| | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| unfaulted | |-----------|.............|-----------| prev next
target = prev, expand prev to cover.
4. prev unfaulted, next faulted:
copied -----| v |-----------|.............|-----------| | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| faulted | |-----------|.............|-----------| prev next
target = prev, expand prev to cover. Essentially equivalent to 3, but with additional requirement that next's anon_vma is the same as the copied VMA's.
Each of these are performed with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP set, which will cause a KASAN assert for UAF or an assert on zero refcount anon_vma if a bug exists with correctly propagating anon_vma state in each scenario.
