Subject: [PATCH 1/2] exec: kill the unnecessary mm->def_flags setting in load_elf_binary()
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:46:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140122174627.GB29710@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140122174553.GA29710@redhat.com>
load_elf_binary() sets current->mm->def_flags = def_flags and
def_flags is always zero. Not only this looks strange, this is
unnecessary because mm_init() has already set ->def_flags = 0.
