Patch series "mm/mremap: Remove extra vma tree walk", v2. An extra vma tree walk was discovered in some mremap call paths during the discussion on mseal() changes. This patch set removes the extra vma tree walk and further cleans up mremap_to(). This patch (of 2): vma_to_resize() is used in two locations to find and validate the vma for the mremap location. One of the two locations already has the vma, which is then re-found to validate the same vma. This code can be simplified by moving the vma_lookup() from vma_to_resize() to mremap_to() and changing the return type to an int error. Since the function now just validates the vma, the function is renamed to resize_is_valid() to better reflect what it is doing. This commit also adds documentation about the function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
