From 0f062a5c0e3b23803c1f5b927ef5e8ba5ec52ff1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:51:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] NOMMU: Don't need to clear vm_mm when deleting a VMA 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.
