Subject: mm: remove duplicated open-coded VMA policy check
Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2024 19:10:16 +0100

Both can_vma_merge_before() and can_vma_merge_after() are invoked after
checking for compatible VMA NUMA policy, we can simply move this to
is_mergeable_vma() and abstract this altogether.

In mmap_region() we set vmg->policy to NULL, so the policy comparisons
checked in can_vma_merge_before() and can_vma_merge_after() are exactly
equivalent to !vma_policy(vmg.next) and !vma_policy(vmg.prev).

Equally, in do_brk_flags(), vmg->policy is NULL, so the
can_vma_merge_after() is checking !vma_policy(vma), as we set vmg.prev to
vma.

In vma_merge(), we compare prev and next policies with vmg->policy before
checking can_vma_merge_after() and can_vma_merge_before() respectively,
which this patch causes to be checked in precisely the same way.

This therefore maintains precisely the same logic as before, only now
abstracted into is_mergeable_vma().
