From 54f63d9d8a39118486eb8a7168cda5845240c3d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2019 20:59:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc.c: get rid of one single unlink_va() when merge It does not make sense to try to "unlink" the node that is definitely not linked with a list nor tree. On the first merge step VA just points to the previously disconnected busy area. On the second step, check if the node has been merged and do "unlink" if so, because now it points to an object that must be linked.
