The patch titled Subject: mm/mmap: remove find_vma_intersection() in vma_merge() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-mmap-remove-find_vma_intersection-in-vma_merge.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-mmap-remove-find_vma_intersection-in-vma_merge.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: Yajun Deng <yajun.deng@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap: remove find_vma_intersection() in vma_merge() Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2024 11:49:22 +0800 We need to find the current vma by find_vma_intersection() in vma_merge(). Since the src vma was passed, we can add a check to figure out if the current vma is NULL or the src vma directly. Remove find_vma_intersection() in vma_merge(). And initialize the next to NULL when defining it.
