Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] proc/task_mmu: clarify shmem mapping walk conditions in smap_gather_stats()
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:47:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910234737.1340642-4-surenb@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910234737.1340642-1-surenb@google.com>

smap_gather_stats() optimizes stats gathering by skipping the walk for
shmem mappings in certain conditions. Update the comment to clarify
these conditions and use vma_is_cow_mapping() for COW identification
instead of open-coding it.
Instead of using (start != 0) condition to identify partial walks, use
more semantically correct (start > vma->vm_start) check.

No functional change intended.
