Subject: [PATCH 1/3] uml: activate_mm: remove the dead PF_BORROWED_MM check
Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 21:00:54 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080518170054.GA25872@tv-sign.ru> (raw)

use_mm() was changed to use switch_mm() instead of activate_mm(), since then
nobody calls (and nobody should call) activate_mm() with PF_BORROWED_MM bit
set.

As Jeff Dike pointed out, we can also remove the "old != new" check, it is
always true.
