SubjectRe: [patch] mmap: feed back correct prev vma when finding vma

Why? Because you think more code is better code? I disagree.

If you have seen a bug here, please tell how to reproduce it.

I have not heard of a bug here: I think you're saying, if the rbtree
were inconsistent with the vma list, then you think it would be a good
idea to believe the vma list instead of the rbtree where there's a choice.

But the rbtree had better not be inconsistent with the vma list.
