Yeah, if you do:

mmap(obj, size)
munmap(obj, size)

That will do mmap and one vm_close, no vm_open AFAICT. But that looks to 
be fine here.

I think so. If you do:

mmap(obj, size)
munmap(obj, size/2)
munmap(obj, size)

That will do one mmap, one vm_open for the newly split vma and finally 
two vm_closes, AFAICT.
