The patch titled Subject: mm/mmap: check on file instead of the rb_root_cached of its address_space has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-mmap-check-on-file-instead-of-the-rb_root_cached-of-its-address_space.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-mmap-check-on-file-instead-of-the-rb_root_cached-of-its-address_space.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-mmap-check-on-file-instead-of-the-rb_root_cached-of-its-address_space.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/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap: check on file instead of the rb_root_cached of its address_space In __vma_adjust(), we do the check on *root* to decide whether to adjust the address_space. It seems to be more meaningful to do the check on *file* itself. This means we are adjusting some data because it is a file backed vma. Since we seem to assume the address_space is valid if it is a file backed vma, let's just replace *root* with *file* here.
