Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_fault: Remove reduntant check for write access
Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2017 13:58:39 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170823082839.1812-1-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Flags argument has been copied into vmf.flags and it does not
seem to have changed in between. Hence a single write access
check can be used for both PUD and PMD.
