[RFC PATCH v3 2/6] [PATCH 2/6] mm: add merging after mremap resize

From: Jakub Matěna
Date: Mon May 16 2022 - 08:54:42 EST


When mremap call results in expansion, it might be possible to merge the
VMA with the next VMA which might become adjacent. This patch adds
vma_merge call after the expansion is done to try and merge.
