Subject: x86: mm: move mmap_sem unlock from mm_fault_error() to caller
From: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
commit 7fb08eca45270d0ae86e1ad9d39c40b7a55d0190 upstream.
This replaces four copies in various stages of mm_fault_error() handling with just a single one. It will also allow for more natural placement of the unlocking after some further cleanup.
