For context, here's the definition of find_vma_intersection():

<quote>
static inline struct vm_area_struct * find_vma_intersection(struct mm_struct * mm, unsigned long start_addr, unsigned long end_addr)
{
	struct vm_area_struct * vma = find_vma(mm,start_addr);

	if (vma && end_addr <= vma->vm_start)
		vma = NULL;
	return vma;
}
</quote>

It seems that there is a boundary issue in either the old code or the
new one in the case where (reg_end == vma->start).

Which one is which?

	M.
