And yes, the leak you've spotted is real, but I would very much prefer
to avoid that goto - something like this instead:

diff --git a/mm/mremap.c b/mm/mremap.c
index 034e2d3..b36b530 100644
--- a/mm/mremap.c
+++ b/mm/mremap.c
@@ -291,7 +291,10 @@ static unsigned long move_vma(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
if (err < 0) {
move_page_tables(new_vma, new_addr, vma, old_addr,
moved_len, true);
- return err;
+ vma = new_vma;
+ old_len = new_len;
+ old_addr = new_addr;
+ new_addr = err;
}
}
