Add more sanity checks to the VMA that do_brk_flags() will expand. Ensure the VMA matches basic merge requirements within the function before calling can_vma_merge_after(). Drop the duplicate checks from vm_brk_flags() since they will be enforced later. The old code would expand file VMAs on brk(), which is functionally wrong and also dangerous in terms of locking because the brk() path isn't designed for file VMAs and therefore doesn't lock the file mapping. Checking can_vma_merge_after() ensures that new anonymous VMAs can't be merged into file VMAs.

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.
