| |
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
commit b94cfaf6685d691dc3fab023cf32f65e9b7be09c upstream.
Don't clear vm_mm in a deleted VMA as it's unnecessary and might conceivably break the filesystem or driver VMA close routine.
