If there is a BUG, do we have a Fixes: tag? Also
1. Can we fix the bug separately first?
2. Can we have a better description on what the bug actually is
"evaluate as false"? What is the result of the bug?
CCing some people that might know if this is actually a sane change.
Skimming over do_mmap(), it's not immediately clear to me that
"do_mmap() will unlock the necessary VMAs".
