[RFC] mm/mremap: Remove redundant checks inside vma_expandable()

[Anshuman Khandual <khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

As 'delta' is an unsigned long, 'end' (vma->vm_end + delta) cannot
be less than 'vma->vm_end'. Checking for availability of virtual
address range at the end of the VMA for the incremental size is
also reduntant at this point. Hence drop them both.

The following test program achieves fatser execution time with
this change.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

#define ALLOC_SIZE 0x10000UL
#define MAX_COUNT 1024 * 1024

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        unsigned long count;
        char *ptr;

        ptr = mmap(NULL, ALLOC_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE| MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
        if (ptr == MAP_FAILED) {
                perror("map() failed");
                return -1;
        }
        memset(ptr, 0, ALLOC_SIZE);

        for (count = 1; count <= MAX_COUNT; count++) {
                ptr =  (char *) mremap(ptr, ALLOC_SIZE * count, ALLOC_SIZE * (count + 1), 1);
                if (ptr == MAP_FAILED) {
                        perror("mremap() failed");
                        printf("At %lu size", ALLOC_SIZE * (count + 1));
                        return -1;
                }
                /*
                memset(ptr, 0, ALLOC_SIZE * (count + 1));
                */
        }


        for (count = MAX_COUNT; count > 1; count--) {
                ptr =  (char *) mremap(ptr, ALLOC_SIZE * count, ALLOC_SIZE * (count - 1), 1);
                if (ptr == MAP_FAILED) {
                        perror("mremap() failed");
                        printf("At %lu size", ALLOC_SIZE * (count - 1));
                        return -1;
                }
                /*
                memset(ptr, 0, ALLOC_SIZE * (count - 1));
                */
        }
        return 0;
}
