But this would be right?
Not that I think this optimization makes sense, I simply do not know, but to me this change looks technically correct at first glance...
But the changelog is wrong or I missed something. This change can stop the main loop earlier; if "tmp" is the first vma, or if the previous one is below the address. Or perhaps I just misread that "not in any vma" note in the changelog.
No?
Oleg.
