This happens in the following sequence: 1. anon_vma_clone() succeeds, populating vma->anon_vma_chain and inserting entries into interval trees 2. maybe_reuse_anon_vma() does not set vma->anon_vma because reuse conditions are not met (common case for active processes) 3. anon_vma_alloc() or anon_vma_chain_alloc() fails due to memory pressure 4. Error path invokes unlink_anon_vmas() with vma->anon_vma =3D=3D NULL The existing code triggered VM_WARN_ON_ONCE and returned without performing cleanup, leaving entries in interval trees and causing memory leaks. Fix this by detecting the condition and properly cleaning up: - Iterate through the populated chain - Lock each anon_vma - Remove entries from interval trees - Unlock and free chain entries This prevents both the warning and the resource leaks.
