Odd indentation, did you use checkpatch.pl on your patch?
Actually, I checked with the scripts, and there was no warning here.
I also checked in text editors and vim, if I translate tab with 4 spaces,
the "vma/mem" areas in the 5 lines were aligned.
Tabs in Linux are always 8 spaces wide.
See
https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-style.html?highlight=coding+style#indentation
Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters.
There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!)
characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to
be 3.
