From cc3327e7dfc16a9a3e164075234c869867a59e45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2005 13:37:38 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] mm: unbloat get_futex_key The follow_page changes in get_futex_key have left it with two almost identical blocks, when handling the rare case of a futex in a nonlinear vma. get_user_pages will itself do that follow_page, and its additional find_extend_vma is hardly any overhead since the vma is already cached. Let's just delete the follow_page block and let get_user_pages do it.
