[PATCH 1/1] mm/nommu: remove unnecessary VMA locking

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

 



Since CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK depends on CONFIG_MMU, the changes in nommu
are not needed. Remove them.

Fixes: bad94decd6a4 ("mm: write-lock VMAs before removing them from VMA tree")

Fix cleanly applies over mm-unstable, SHA in "Fixes" is from that tree.
