mremap(2) does not allow source and destination regions to overlap, but
shift_arg_pages() calls move_page_tables() directly and in this case the
source and destination overlap often. It confuses move_normal_pmd():

  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 27091 at mm/mremap.c:211 move_page_tables+0x6ef/0x720

move_normal_pmd() expects the destination PMD to be empty, but when
ranges overlap nobody removes PTE page tables on source side.
move_ptes() only removes PTE entries, leaving tables behind.
When the source PMD becomes destination and alignment/size is right we
step onto the warning.

The warning is harmless: kernel correctly fallbacks to handle entries on
per-entry basis.

The fix is to avoid move_normal_pmd() if we see that source and
destination ranges overlap.

A link to the debugging effort could be added to the change log:

And one thing that bothers me:

Does the code really work properly if old_addr < new_addr and overlaps ==
true ? If not, then we should add a warning here in the else IMHO:

	if (old_addr >= new_addr) {
		overlaps = old_addr - new_addr < len;
	} else {
		overlaps = new_addr - old_addr < len;
		WARN_ON(overlaps);
	}

(More so, since you have added code that detects overlaps for such a case).

thanks,

Right, I'll update. But we should warn for old_addr == new_addr too.
Nobody should do this.
