I tracked the problem down in that commit.  The fix is simple enough:

-----------------
--- a/mm/mmap.c
+++ b/mm/mmap.c
@@ -802,10 +802,13 @@ int __vma_adjust(struct vma_iterator *vmi, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
                         * If next doesn't have anon_vma, import from vma after
                         * next, if the vma overlaps with it.
                         */
-                       if (remove != NULL && !next->anon_vma)
+                       if (remove2 != NULL && !next->anon_vma)
----------------

However, that will not fix the problem in linux-next or linus/master
since this code is completely changed shortly after.

You need the fix from Vlastimil (Cc'ed).  After cherry-picking
07dc4b186203 ("mm/mremap: fix dup_anon_vma() in vma_merge() case 4") on
top of linus/master, I don't get this particular failure anymore.

I do get the "kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:155!", so it might be masking
another problem. (Added Matthew to Cc)

I think the right thing to do is to include Vlastimil's fix.

Thanks,
Liam
