Subject[PATCH] mm: mmap: remove verify_mm_writelocked()
Date
We should get rid of this function. It no longer serves its purpose.This
is a historical artifact from 2005 where do_brk was called outside of
the core mm.We do have a proper abstraction in vm_brk_flags and that one
does the locking properly.So there is no need to use this function.
