Eek, what about later on:
/*

* make sure the expanding vma has anon_vma set if the
* shrinking vma had, to cover any anon pages imported.
*/
if (exporter && exporter->anon_vma && !importer->anon_vma) {
int error;
importer->anon_vma = exporter->anon_vma;
error = anon_vma_clone(importer, exporter);
if (error)
return error;
}
This needs
if (error) {
if (next && next != vma)
vm_raw_write_end(next);
vm_raw_write_end(vma);
return error;
}
