From dcd4a049b9751828c516c59709f3fdf50436df85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:40:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: check for no mmaps in exit_mmap() When dup_mmap() ooms we can end up with mm->mmap == NULL. The error path does mmput() and unmap_vmas() gets a NULL vma which it dereferences. In exit_mmap() there is nothing to do at all for this case, we can cancel the callpath right there.
