mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.12-rc1 commit ee8ab1903e3d912d8f10bedbf96c3b6a1c8cbede category: bugfix bugzilla: 176977 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DDEL
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
-------------------------------------------------
In case the vma will continue to be used after unlink its relevant anon_vma, we need to reset the vma->anon_vma pointer to NULL. So, later when fault happen within this vma again, a new anon_vma will be prepared.
By this way, the vma will only be checked for reverse mapping of pages which been fault in after the unlink_anon_vmas call.
Currently, the mremap with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP scenario will continue use the vma after moved its page table entries to a new vma. For other scenarios, the vma itself will be freed after call unlink_anon_vmas.
