This isn't documented in the manuals, but a failed mmap(..., MAP_FIXED) may still unmap overlapping regions. In such case, we need to remap these regions back into our address space to ensure mem contiguity. We do it unconditionally now on mmap failure just to be safe. Verified on Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64. I was getting ENOMEM when trying to map hugetlbfs with no space left, and the previous anonymous mapping was still being removed.
