The odd jump label try_prev and none is not really need
in func find_mergeable_anon_vma, eliminate them to
improve readability.

Warning: subtle code don’t touch especially with little gains like this.

I'm pro removing unnecessary jump labels.

Let me suggest the following instead:
/* Try next first */
near = vma->vm_next;
if (near) {
anon_vma = reusable_anon_vma(near, vma, near);
if (anon_vma)
return anon_vma;
}
/* Try prev next */
near = vma->vm_prev;
if (near) {
anon_vma = reusable_anon_vma(near, vma, near);
if (anon_vma)
return anon_vma;
}

Thank you, simpler code is good--all other things being equal.
The tradeoff is, as Qian points out: code churn and risk in critical
code paths.
In this case, I'd claim it's OK to improve this one, because we
can likely get it right by visual inspection, and the pre-existing
code is quite poor. And being in the kernel does not necessarily give
weak code a free pass to remain there and incur maintenance and annoyance
costs until the end of time. :)
However, please spend equal time when you write your commit descriptions,
because that's also very important. Commit logs should also be clear!

Actually, it can be further simplified, because you don't need
that last "if" statement, because you're returning NULL after this.
So just return anon_vma there. (And adjust the comment block at the
end, so that it's clear that anon_vma might be null.)

Can we have an array with vma->vm_next and vma->vm_prev, then iterate on the
array?

Many Thanks for all of your precious advice. I will fix my patch and send a v2 patch. Thanks again.
