From 517e1fbeb65f5eade8d14f46ac365db6c75aea9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laura Abbott Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 14:09:00 -0700 Subject: mm/usercopy: Drop extra is_vmalloc_or_module() check Previously virt_addr_valid() was insufficient to validate if virt_to_page() could be called on an address on arm64. This has since been fixed up so there is no need for the extra check. Drop it.
