From 50e04acf2990d0d93983720b0a85b11ef805df60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2019 00:41:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/process: Delete useless check for dead process with LDT At release_thread(), ->mm is NULL; and it is fine for the former mm to still have an LDT. Delete this check in process_64.c, similar to commit 2684927c6b93 ("[PATCH] x86: Deprecate useless bug"), which did the same in process_32.c.
