From 4d45e75a9955ade5c2f49bd96fc4173b2cec9a72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2020 20:13:00 -0700 Subject: mm: remove the now-unnecessary mmget_still_valid() hack The preceding patches have ensured that core dumping properly takes the mmap_lock. Thanks to that, we can now remove mmget_still_valid() and all its users.
