[PATCH 1/1] mmap.c: find_vma: remove if(mm) check

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

 



find_vma is called from kernel code where it is absolutely
sure that the mm_struct arg being passed to it is non-NULL.

Remove the if(mm) check.
This will also serve the purpose of mandating that the execution
context(user-mode/kernel-mode) be known before find_vma is called.

Also fixed 2 checkpatch.pl errors in the declaration
of the rb_node and vma_tmp local variables.

I have tested this patch on my x86 PC and there are no crashes
due to this in the course of normal desktop execution.
