Using list_add + list_sort to insert an element and keeping the list sorted is a somewhat blunt instrument; one can find the right place to insert in fewer lines of code than the cmp callback uses. Moreover, walking the entire list afterwards to merge adjacent ranges is overkill, since we know that only the just-inserted element may be merged with its neighbours.

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.
