From 1ed0cc5a01a4d868d9907ce96468c4b4c6709556 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nadav Amit Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2018 15:45:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: respect arch_dup_mmap() return value Commit d70f2a14b72a ("include/linux/sched/mm.h: uninline mmdrop_async(), etc") ignored the return value of arch_dup_mmap(). As a result, on x86, a failure to duplicate the LDT (e.g. due to memory allocation error) would leave the duplicated memory mapping in an inconsistent state. Fix by using the return value, as it was before the change.
