[PATCH] mm/mmap.c: logic of find_vma_intersection repeated in __do_munmap

From: Gonzalo Matias Juarez Tello
Date: Fri Apr 09 2021 - 12:22:20 EST


Logic of find_vma_intersection() (which is an inline fc) is
repeated in __do_munmap().
Besides, prev is assigned a value before checking vma->vm_start >= end
which might end up on a return statement making that assignment useless.

Calling find_vma_intersection() checks that condition and returns NULL if
no vma is found, hence only the !vma check is needed in __do_munmap().
