Subject: mm: check for no mmaps in exit_mmap()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dcd4a049b9751828c516c59709f3fdf50436df85;p=linux-beck.git

mm: check for no mmaps in exit_mmap()

When dup_mmap() ooms we can end up with mm->mmap == NULL.  The error
path does mmput() and unmap_vmas() gets a NULL vma which it
dereferences.

In exit_mmap() there is nothing to do at all for this case, we can
cancel the callpath right there.
