People get confused by find_vma_prepare(), because it doesn't care about what it returns in its output args, when its callers won't be interested. Clarify by passing in end-of-range address too, and returning failure if any existing vma overlaps the new range: instead of returning an ambiguous vma which most callers then must check. find_vma_links() is a clearer name. This does revert 2.6.27's dfe195fb ("mm: fix uninitialized variables for find_vma_prepare callers"), but it looks like gcc 4.3.0 was one of those releases too eager to shout about uninitialized variables: only copy_vma() warns with 4.5.1 and 4.7.1, which a BUG on error silences.
