mm/vma: the pgoff is correct if can_merge_right
By this point can_vma_merge_right() must have returned true, which implies can_vma_merge_before() also returned true, which already asserts that the pgoff is as expected for a merge with the following VMA, thus this assignment is redundant. Below is a more detail explanation. Current definition of can_vma_merge_right() is: static bool can_vma_merge_right(struct vma_merge_struct *vmg, bool can_merge_left) { if (!vmg->next || vmg->end != vmg->next->vm_start || !can_vma_merge_before(vmg)) return false; ... } And: static bool can_vma_merge_before(struct vma_merge_struct *vmg) { pgoff_t pglen = PHYS_PFN(vmg->end - vmg->start); ... if (vmg->next->vm_pgoff == vmg->pgoff + pglen) return true; ... } Which implies vmg->pgoff == vmg->next->vm_pgoff - pglen. None of these values are changed between the check and prior assignment, so this was an entirely redundant assignment.
