Subject: [patch 1/3] x86, xsave: remove the redundant access_ok() in setup_rt_frame()
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:38:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080813183856.964126000@linux-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: remove_redundant_access_ok.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 696 bytes --]

save_i387_xstate() is already doing the required access_ok(). Remove
the redundant access_ok() before it.
