The patch below should fix the issue. Please test.

Could you elaborate on this?

Why creating file on tmpfs/shmem (using memfd_create() for example) plus
plain mmap()s wouldn't work for you?

Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix regression in remap_file_pages() emulation

Grazvydas Ignotas has reported a regression in remap_file_pages()
emulation.

Testcase:
	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include <assert.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <sys/mman.h>

	#define SIZE    (4096 * 3)

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		unsigned long *p;
		long i;

		p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
				MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
		if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
			perror("mmap");
			return -1;
		}

		for (i = 0; i < SIZE / 4096; i++)
			p[i * 4096 / sizeof(*p)] = i;

		if (remap_file_pages(p, 4096, 0, 1, 0)) {
			perror("remap_file_pages");
			return -1;
		}

		if (remap_file_pages(p, 4096 * 2, 0, 1, 0)) {
			perror("remap_file_pages");
			return -1;
		}

		assert(p[0] == 1);

		munmap(p, SIZE);

		return 0;
	}

The second remap_file_pages() fails with -EINVAL.

The reason is that remap_file_pages() emulation assumes that the target
vma covers whole area we want to over map. That assumption is broken by
first remap_file_pages() call: it split the area into two vma.

The solution is to check next adjacent vmas, if they map the same file
with the same flags.
