This new_vma was just initialized to represent the new unmapped area, [vm_start, vm_end) was returned by get_unmapped_area() in the caller. This means that uprobe_mmap()->get_user_pages() will fail for sure, simply because find_vma() can never succeed. And I verified that sys_mremap()->mremap_to() indeed always fails with the wrong ENOMEM code if [addr, addr+old_len] is probed. And why this uprobe_mmap() was added? I believe the intent was wrong. Note that the caller is going to do move_page_tables(), all registered uprobes are already faulted in, we only change the virtual addresses. NOTE: However, somehow we need to close the race with uprobe_register() which relies on map_info->vaddr. This needs another fix I'll try to do later. Probably we need uprobe_mmap() in move_vma() but we can not do this right now, this can confuse uprobes_state.counter (which I still hope we are going to kill).
