From: Wei Yang <richardw.yang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap.c: remove a never-triggered warning in __vma_adjust() The upper level of "if" makes sure (end >= next->vm_end), which means there are only two possibilities: 1) end == next->vm_end 2) end > next->vm_end remove_next is assigned to be (1 + end > next->vm_end). This means if remove_next is 1, end must equal to next->vm_end. The VM_WARN_ON will never trigger.
