-For cases in which the specified memory region has not been reserved using an
-existing mapping, newer kernels (Linux 4.17 and later) provide an option
-.B MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE
-that should be used instead; older kernels require the caller to use
-.I addr
-as a hint (without
-.BR MAP_FIXED )
-and take appropriate action if the kernel places the new mapping at a
-different address.
+Since Linux 4.17, the
+.BR MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE
+flag can be used in a multithreaded program to avoid the hazard
+described above.
