In case the vma will continue to be used after unlink its relevant anon_vma, we need to reset the vma->anon_vma pointer to NULL. So, later when fault happen within this vma again, a new anon_vma will be prepared. By this way, the vma will only be checked for reverse mapping of pages which been fault in after the unlink_anon_vmas call. Currently, the mremap with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP scenario will continue use the vma after moved its page table entries to a new vma. For other scenarios, the vma itself will be freed after call unlink_anon_vmas.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
