Subject: [PATCH v1 2/6] mm/hwpoison: remove race consideration
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 11:12:08 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210614021212.223326-3-nao.horiguchi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210614021212.223326-1-nao.horiguchi@gmail.com>

From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@nec.com>

Now memory_failure() and unpoison_memory() are protected by mf_mutex,
so no need to explicitly check races between them.  So remove them.
