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.
