I guess you mean:
ENOMEM The process's maximum number of mappings would have been
exceeded. This error can also occur for munmap(), when
unmapping a region in the middle of an existing mapping,
since this results in two smaller mappings on either side
of the region being unmapped.
Luckily it is testable, but we need a new test for that. What we can do
is to read
https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.html#max-map-count and to
map the maximum amount of memory map areas. Then we munmap() in the
middle of one of them, resulting in +1 mapped areas and obtaining ENOMEM
from the syscall. Feel free to explore it.
