From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2012 18:22:12 +0000 (+0200) Subject: uprobes: Don't recheck vma/f_mapping in write_opcode() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f403072c6;p=linux-beck.git uprobes: Don't recheck vma/f_mapping in write_opcode() write_opcode() rechecks valid_vma() and ->f_mapping, this is pointless. The caller, register_for_each_vma() or uprobe_mmap(), has already done these checks under mmap_sem. To clarify, uprobe_mmap() checks valid_vma() only, but we can rely on build_probe_list(vm_file->f_mapping->host).
