Hmmm. I have read the code of special_mapping_mremap() and I don't see where
it restricts splitting the vvar mapping.

Here is the code what I see in the source:

static int special_mapping_mremap(struct vm_area_struct *new_vma)
{
        struct vm_special_mapping *sm = new_vma->vm_private_data;

        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(current->mm != new_vma->vm_mm))
                return -EFAULT;

        if (sm->mremap)
                return sm->mremap(sm, new_vma);

        return 0;
}

And I have checked that without this patch, I can remap only one page of
the vvar mapping.

I checked it a second time and I agree. The check on new_size is required in
this case.

Thanks,
Andrei
