munmap_check_addr? Btw. why does this need to have munmap prefix at all?
This is a general address space check.

This really doesn't help me to understand how to use the function.
Why do we need both prev and vma etc...

This is a really weird calling convention. So what does 0 tell? /me
checks the code. Ohh, it is nothing to do. Why cannot you simply return
the vma. NULL implies nothing to do, ERR_PTR on error.

Why do you set prev here. We might "fail" with 0 right after this

the patch would be much more easier to read if you didn't do vma->tmp
renaming.
