Patch series "Refactor of vma_merge and new merge call", v4. I am currently working on my master's thesis trying to increase number of merges of VMAs currently failing because of page offset incompatibility and difference in their anon_vmas. The following refactor and added merge call included in this series is just two smaller upgrades I created along the way. This patch (of 2): Refactor vma_merge() to make it shorter and more understandable. Main change is the elimination of code duplicity in the case of merge next check. This is done by first doing checks and caching the results before executing the merge itself. The variable 'area' is divided into 'mid' and 'res' as previously it was used for two purposes, as the middle VMA between prev and next and also as the result of the merge itself. Exit paths are also unified.

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 Restructured Text 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.
