Subject: [PATCH 3/3] __set_personality: no need to check the old ->exec_domain
Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 17:36:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100527153639.GD13858@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100527153522.GA13858@redhat.com>
Cleanup. __set_personality() always changes ->exec_domain/personality,
the special case when ->exec_domain remains the same buys nothing but
complicates the code.
I don't understand why lookup_exec_domain() always succeeds even if
the search in ->exec_domains list fails, we use default_exec_domain
in this case.
