The patch titled Subject: mm/mmap/vma_merge: fold curr, next assignment logic has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-mmap-vma_merge-fold-curr-next-assignment-logic.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-mmap-vma_merge-fold-curr-next-assignment-logic.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm 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 via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap/vma_merge: fold curr, next assignment logic Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2023 20:18:58 +0000 Use find_vma_intersection() and vma_lookup() to both simplify the logic and to fold the end == next->vm_start condition into one block. This groups all of the simple range checks together and establishes the invariant that, if prev, curr or next are non-NULL then their positions are as expected. This has no functional impact.
