Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] mm/mseal: Simplify and rename VMA gap check
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 14:37:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8efef79c46553a9b8924878c1f4363998c1f49ed.1752586090.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1752586090.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

The check_mm_seal() function is doing something general - checking whether
a range contains only VMAs (or rather that it does NOT contain any unmapped
regions).

So rename this function to range_contains_unmapped().

Additionally simplify the logic, we are simply checking whether the last
vma->vm_end has either a VMA starting after it or ends before the end
parameter.

This check is rather dubious, so it is sensible to keep it local to
mm/mseal.c as at a later stage it may be removed, and we don't want any
other mm code to perform such a check.

No functional change intended.
