The patch titled Subject: mm: make vma_merge() and split_vma() internal has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-make-vma_merge-and-split_vma-internal.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-make-vma_merge-and-split_vma-internal.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: make vma_merge() and split_vma() internal Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2023 19:23:06 +0100 Now the common pattern of - attempting a merge via vma_merge() and should this fail splitting VMAs via split_vma() - has been abstracted, the former can be placed into mm/internal.h and the latter made static. In addition, the split_vma() nommu variant also need not be exported.
