I have never seen the original patch on mailing lists, so I'll reply to
the backport.

I believe we do control the lifetime of the page with mmap_sem, don't we?
I mean any shoot down of the page from a mapping would require at least
down_read(mmap_sem) and we hold down_write(mmap_sem). Hm?

Could you elaborate on the race with page_mkclean()?
I think the new logic is unnecessary strict (and slow).
Any barely sane userspace must not access the old mapping after
mremap(MREMAP_MAYMOVE) called and must not access the new mapping
before the mremap() returns.
The old logic *should* be safe if this argument valid.
Do I miss something?
