Yes, that check is wrong.

   		tmp = mremap(mem + mremap_size, mremap_size, mremap_size,
   			     MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED, mremap_mem);

   		}

As Dev says, this one is just fine. Leave it as it is.


Thank you for the review.

I agree with you and Dev this is just fine. The reason I prefer to modify it is
- usually caller checks the return value directly and "tmp == mremap_mem"
should be determined by "mremap".

If you still prefer to leave it as it is, I will send out the v2 to remove it.

Yes, leave it as is. This does not belong in this fix for a real error checking problem. Thanks!
