Este parche (de 4): Se detect\u00f3 una alerta de error generada por Syzkaller: Error: Estado incorrecto del contador RSS mm:00000000b4a60fca tipo:MM_ANONPAGES val:1. Se puede reproducir con los siguientes pasos: 1. Registrar uprobe en el archivo con desplazamiento cero. 2. Asignar el archivo con mmap en el desplazamiento cero: addr1 = mmap(NULL, 2 * 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); 3. Asignar con mremap parte de vma1 al nuevo vma2: addr2 = mremap(addr1, 4096, 2 * 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE); 4. mremap de vuelta a la direcci\u00f3n original 1: mremap(addr2, 4096, 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED, addr1); En el paso 3, el rango vma1 [addr1, addr1 + 4096] se reasignar\u00e1 a la nueva vma2 con rango [addr2, addr2 + 8192] y se reasignar\u00e1 la p\u00e1gina uprobe anon de vma1 a vma2, luego desasignar\u00e1 el rango vma1 [addr1, addr1 + 4096]. En el paso 4, el rango vma2 [addr2, addr2 + 4096] se reasignar\u00e1 de nuevo al rango addr [addr1, addr1 + 4096]. Dado que el rango de direcciones [addr1 + 4096, addr1 + 8192] a\u00fan asigna el archivo, se requerir\u00e1 vma_merge_new_range para expandir el rango y luego ejecutar uprobe_mmap en vma_complete. Dado que el desplazamiento de la p\u00e1gina de la vma fusionada tambi\u00e9n tiene desplazamiento cero, se instalar\u00e1 uprobe anon page en la vma fusionada. Sin embargo, el siguiente paso `move_page_tables`, que usa `set_pte_at` para reasignar la pte de uprobe vma2 a la vma fusionada, sobrescribir\u00e1 la nueva pte de uprobe en la vma fusionada y la dejar\u00e1 hu\u00e9rfana. Dado que la pte de uprobe se reasignar\u00e1 a la vma fusionada, podemos eliminar uprobe_mmap innecesario al fusionar la vma.
