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

From: 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.
