After upgrading build guests to v6.3, rpm started segfaulting for specific packages, which was bisected to commit0503ea8f5b("mm/mmap: remove __vma_adjust()"). rpm is doing many mremap() operations with file mappings of its db. The problem is that in vma_merge() case 3 (we merge with the next vma, expanding it downwards) vm_pgoff is not adjusted as it should when vm_start changes. As a result the rpm process most likely sees data from the wrong offset of the file. Fix the vm_pgoff calculation. For case 8 this is a non-functional change as the resulting vm_pgoff is the same.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
