Subject: [PATCH] mm/mmap.c: make vma_merge() comment more easy to understand
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2019 09:24:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191030012445.16944-1-richardw.yang@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Case 1/6, 2/7 and 3/8 have the same pattern and we handle them in the
same logic.

Rearrange the comment to make it a little easy for audience to
understand.
