There even is such a function already in mm/ sparse.c::vaddr_in_vmalloc_area() with pretty identical content. I would suggest either this new inline should go away completely and use the existing one and export it or the existing one should go away and the inline should be used. It seems silly to have two

functions with different names doing exactly the same thing!

Just in case you have not noticed: This patchset removes the
vaddr_in_vmalloc_area() in sparse.c

That's great!  And sorry I did not notice that bit...

Best regards,
