Liam sent us a fix yesterday, hopefully this?


From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@oracle.com>
Subject: mm/mprotect: Fix successful vma_merge() of next in do_mprotect_pkey()
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2023 16:20:55 -0500

If mprotect_fixup() successfully calls vma_merge() and replaces vma and
the next vma, then the tmp variable in the do_mprotect_pkey() is not
updated to point to the new vma end.  This results in the loop detecting a
gap between VMAs that does not exist.  Fix the faulty value of tmp by
setting it to the end location of the vma iterator at the end of the loop.
