This breaks the vma02 testcase from ltp on s390:

~ # ./vma02
vma02 0 TINFO : pid = 617 addr = 0x3ff8f673000
vma02 0 TINFO : start = 0x3ff8f673000, end = 0x3ff8f674000
vma02 0 TINFO : start = 0x3ff8f674000, end = 0x3ff8f675000
vma02 0 TINFO : start = 0x3ff8f675000, end = 0x3ff8f676000
vma02 1 TFAIL : vma02.c:144: >1 unmerged VMAs.

When this happens the following VM_WARN_ON() is triggered:

which is:

/* verify some invariant that must be enforced by the caller */
VM_WARN_ON(prev && addr <= prev->vm_start);
--> VM_WARN_ON(mid && end > mid->vm_end);
VM_WARN_ON(addr >= end);

Any thoughts?

Thanks
