[PATCH] xen: execve's error paths don't pin the mm before unpinning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



execve's error paths don't activate (and therefore pin) the mm before
calling exit_mmap to free it up, so don't try to unpin unless it is
actually pinned.  This prevents a BUG_ON from triggering.
