Subject: [PATCH 2/3] kill MMF_DUMPABLE and MMF_DUMP_SECURELY
Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2013 20:01:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131116190141.GC22666@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131116190057.GA22666@redhat.com>

Nobody actually needs MMF_DUMPABLE/MMF_DUMP_SECURELY, there
are only used to enforce the encoding of SUID_DUMP_* enum in
mm->flags & MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK.

Now that set_dumpable() updates both bits atomically we can
kill them and simply store the value "as is" in 2 lower bits.
