From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> If file-based vmas are to be kept in a tree, according to the file offsets they map, then adjusting the vma's start pgoff or its end involves repositioning in the tree, while holding i_shared_lock (and page_table_lock). We used to avoid that if possible, e.g. when just moving end; but if we're heading that way, let's now tidy up vma_merge and split_vma, and do all the locking and adjustment in a new helper vma_adjust. And please, let's call the next vma in vma_merge "next" rather than "prev". Since these patches are diffed over 2.6.6-rc2-mm2, they include the NUMA mpolicy mods which you'll have to remove to go earlier in the series, sorry for that nuisance. I have intentionally changed the one vma_mpol_equal to mpol_equal, to make the merge cases more alike.
