The patch titled Subject: mremap: don't do uneccesary checks if new_len == old_len has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mremap-dont-do-uneccesary-checks-if-new_len-==-old_len.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mremap-dont-do-uneccesary-checks-if-new_len-%3D%3D-old_len.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mremap-dont-do-uneccesary-checks-if-new_len-%3D%3D-old_len.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mremap: don't do uneccesary checks if new_len == old_len The "new_len > old_len" branch in vma_to_resize() looks very confusing. It only covers the VM_DONTEXPAND/pgoff checks but everything below is equally unneeded if new_len == old_len. Change this code to return if "new_len == old_len", new_len < old_len is not possible, otherwise the code below is wrong anyway.
