[PATCH 1/1] mmap.c: find_vma: replace if(mm) check with BUG_ON(!mm)

From: Kautuk Consul
Date: Mon Mar 26 2012 - 12:06:17 EST


find_vma is called from kernel code where it is absolutely
sure that the mm_struct arg being passed to it is non-NULL.

Convert the if check to a BUG_ON.
This will also serve the purpose of mandating that the execution
context(user-mode/kernel-mode) be known before find_vma is called.

Also fixed 2 checkpatch.pl errors in this function for the rb_node
and vma_tmp local variables.

I have tested this patch on my x86 PC and there are no BUG_ON crashes
due to this in the course of normal desktop execution.
