[PATCH] mm/mempolicy: Fix set_mempolicy_home_node() previous VMA pointer

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Thu Sep 28 2023 - 13:24:56 EST


The two users of mbind_range() are expecting that mbind_range() will
update the pointer to the previous VMA, or return an error. However,
set_mempolicy_home_node() does not call mbind_range() if there is no VMA
policy. The fix is to update the pointer to the previous VMA prior to
continuing iterating the VMAs when there is no policy.

Users may experience a WARN_ON() during VMA policy updates when updating
a range of VMAs on the home node.
