During the error path, the vma iterator may not be correctly positioned or set to the correct range. Undo the vma_prev() call by resetting to the passed in address. Re-walking to the same range will fix the range to the area previously passed in. Users would notice increased cycles as vma_merge() would be called an extra time with vma == prev, and thus would fail to merge and return.

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.
