[RFC PATCH 2/8] mm/madvise: remove unnecessary check on madvise_dontneed_free()
From: Nadav Amit
Date: Sun Sep 26 2021 - 19:44:03 EST
From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxx>
madvise_dontneed_free() is called only from madvise_vma() and the
behavior is always either MADV_FREE or MADV_DONTNEED. There is no need
to check again in madvise_dontneed_free() if the behavior is any
different.
