In i915_gem_create():

	size = roundup(size, PAGE_SIZE);
	if (size == 0)
		return -EINVAL;

This suggests to me that the requested size can be smaller than the
allocated size, which in turn suggests that the check
	(vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start) == size;
is wrong. Either it should be
	(vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start) >= size;
or possibly
	(vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start) == roundup(size, PAGE_SIZE);

Any comments/feedback/thoughts ?
