From 530fcd16d87cd2417c472a581ba5a1e501556c86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:26:28 -0700 Subject: ipc, shm: guard against non-existant vma in shmdt(2) When !CONFIG_MMU there's a chance we can derefence a NULL pointer when the VM area isn't found - check the return value of find_vma(). Also, remove the redundant -EINVAL return: retval is set to the proper return code and *only* changed to 0, when we actually unmap the segments.
