This leaks vma->vm_policy if it is not NULL and not equal to next->vm_policy. This can happen if vma_merge() expands "area", not prev (case 8). 2. This sets the wrong policy if vma_merge() joins prev and area, area is the vma the caller needs to update and it still has the old policy. Revert commit 1444f92c8498 ("mm: merging memory blocks resets mempolicy") which introduced these problems. Change mbind_range() to recheck mpol_equal() after vma_merge() to fix the problem that commit tried to address.
