[PATCH 3/3] exec: kill the unnecessary mm->def_flags setting in load_elf_binary()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



load_elf_binary() sets current->mm->def_flags = def_flags and
def_flags is always zero. Not only this looks strange, this is
unnecessary because mm_init() has already set ->def_flags = 0.
