I am not sure I am following here. The logic below should avoid showing
the same vma again:
curr_vma = find_vma(curr_task->mm, info->prev_vm_end - 1);
if (curr_vma && (curr_vma->vm_start == info->prev_vm_start))
curr_vma = curr_vma->vm_next;
This logic handles case 1, 2, 3 same as show_smaps_rollup(). For case 4,
this logic skips the changed vma (from [prev_vm_start, prev_vm_end] to
[prev_vm_start, prev_vm_end + something]); while show_smaps_rollup() will
process the new vma. I think skipping or processing the new vma are both
correct, as we already processed part of it [prev_vm_start, prev_vm_end]
once.

In that case, we should be in "curr_tid != info->tid" path, no?
