Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] uprobes: don't recheck vma/f_mapping in write_opcode()
Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:00:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120624150002.GA23277@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120624145936.GA23269@redhat.com>

write_opcode() rechecks valid_vma() and ->f_mapping, this is pointless.
The caller, register_for_each_vma() or uprobe_mmap(), has already done
these checks under mmap_sem.

To clarify, uprobe_mmap() checks valid_vma() only, but we can rely on
build_probe_list(vm_file->f_mapping->host).
