Your code silently ignores it. > Hmm, the BUG_ON() appears in the original code, i don't introduce it. it maybe be better to consider va->va_start == tmp_va->va_end as normal case and should not BUG_ON() it since the available range of vmap_erea include the start boundary but the end, BTW, represented as [start, end)
this patch correct the logic to that mentioned in the comments, it maybe be more logical and more understandable
