Allocating and managing the address space ranges are the server's responsibility. If it expects the region to grow, it shouldn't colocate those regions. The kernel is just giving the server an address space to manage and letting it redirect mmaps to arbitrary (sans the SHMLBA alignment restriction) part of it. The rest is upto the server.
Thanks.
