Before the main looping, vma is already is NULL, so need not set it to
NULL, again.

OK, thanks.


I also want to consult: the comments of find_vma() says:

"Look up the first VMA which satisfies addr < vm_end, ..."

Is it OK? (why not "vm_start <= addr < vm_end"), need we let "vma = tmp"
in "if (tmp->vm_start <= addr)"? -- it looks the comments is not match
the implementation, precisely (maybe not 1st VMA).


Thanks.

Why not?

Because this some callers actually want to find the 1st vma which
satisfies addr < vm_end? For example, shift_arg_pages().

OTOH, I think that another helper,

	find_vma_xxx(mm, addr)
	{
		vma = find_vma(...)
		if (vma && vma->vm_start > addr)
			vma = NULL;
		return vma;
	}

makes sense. It can have a lot of users.

This contradicts with above... I mean, it is not clear what exactly do
you blame, semantics or implementation.

The implementation looks correct. Why do you think it can be not 1st vma?

It is in while (rb_node) {...}.

- When we set "vma = tmp", it is alreay match "addr < vm_end".

- If "addr>= vm_start", we return this vma (else continue searching).

If "the first left" is the real first, when "addr>= vm_start", it
will return (may not return 1st left matched vma).

If "the first find" is the real first, when "addr < vm_start", it
will continue searching (may not return 1st find matched vma).

For me, if we only focus on "addr < vm_end", we need remove "vm_start <=
addr" checking). If we have to consider about "addr>= vm_start", we may
need additional parameter or implement a new function for it.


Welcome any ideas, suggestions and completions.

Yes,

This is optimization, we can stop the search because in this case
vma == tmp is obviously the 1st vma with "addr < vm_end".

I simply can't understand your concerns. Perhaps you can make a
patch, then it will be more clear what me-or-you have missed.

I guess, we need not (it is my missing). :-)

Re: [PATCH] mm/mmap.c: Remove useless statement "vma = NULL" in find_vma()

[Chen Gang]

Hello all:

I also want to consult: the comments of find_vma() says:

  "Look up the first VMA which satisfies  addr < vm_end, ..."

Is it OK? (why not "vm_start <= addr < vm_end"), need we let "vma = tmp"
in "if (tmp->vm_start <= addr)"? -- it looks the comments is not match
the implementation, precisely (maybe not 1st VMA).


Thanks.

[PATCH] mm/mmap.c: Remove useless statement "vma = NULL" in find_vma()

[gang.chen.5i5j]

From: Chen Gang <gang.chen.5i5j@gmail.com>

Before the main looping, vma is already is NULL, so need not set it to
NULL, again.
