It does look like the unrolling is in the wrong order in that section.

I am not happy about this getting more complex as it already duplicates
too much code.

Could we change the above if to "if (file && vm_flags & VM_SHARED)" and
jump to unmap_and_free_vma "if (vma->vm_file)"? We could then drop your
new goto label. I still think the reodering is correct and worth while.

Or am I missing something?
