Subject: NOMMU: Don't need to clear vm_mm when deleting a VMA
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b94cfaf6685d691dc3fab023cf32f65e9b7be09c;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

NOMMU: Don't need to clear vm_mm when deleting a VMA

Don't clear vm_mm in a deleted VMA as it's unnecessary and might
conceivably break the filesystem or driver VMA close routine.
