Many thanks for comment. I agree with you about "vm_start + len" might wrap.
But what I mean here is that we will never see "start" >= vma->vm_end here
as find_vma guarantees this. And I leave the "start + len <=  vma->vm_start"
check untouched. So my cleanup should be right. Or am I miss something?

Thanks.
