[PATCH v2 0/2] man/man2/mremap.2: describe multiple mapping move, shrink
From: Lorenzo Stoakes
Date: Mon Jul 28 2025 - 10:15:15 EST
We have added new functionality to mremap() in Linux 6.17, permitting the
move of multiple VMAs when performing a pure move (that is - providing
MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED flags and specifying old_size == new_size).
We document this new feature.
Additionally, we document previously undocumented behaviour around
shrinking of input VMA ranges which permits the input range to span
multiple VMAs.
v2:
* Split out the two man page changes as requested by Alejandro.
v1:
