Subject: mm: enforce __must_check on VMA merge and split
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2024 22:50:36 +0000
It is of critical importance to check the return results on VMA merge (and
split), failure to do so can result in use-after-free's. This bug has
recurred, so have the compiler enforce this check to prevent any future
repetition.
