[LTP] [PATCH v2] mmap04.c: Avoid vma merging

Avinesh Kumar akumar@suse.de
Wed Jan 24 14:26:02 CET 2024


We hit a scenario where new mapping was merged with existing mapping of
same permission and the return address from the mmap was hidden in the
merged mapping in /proc/self/maps, causing the test to fail.
To avoid this, we first  create a 2-page mapping with the different
permissions, and then remap the 2nd page with the perms being tested.
