Subject: [PATCH 6/8] execmem: drop writable parameter from execmem_fill_trapping_insns()
Date: Fri,  4 Jul 2025 16:49:41 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250704134943.3524829-7-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250704134943.3524829-1-rppt@kernel.org>

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

After update of execmem_cache_free() that made memory writable before
updating it, there is no need to update read only memory, so the writable
parameter to execmem_fill_trapping_insns() is not needed. Drop it.

Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt@kernel.org>
