From 187229c2ddd12a5bb5cd6bb3fbef9ecbc6eead92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Gunthorpe Date: Thu, 23 May 2019 11:31:45 -0300 Subject: mm/hmm: Remove racy protection against double-unregistration MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit No other register/unregister kernel API attempts to provide this kind of protection as it is inherently racy, so just drop it. Callers should provide their own protection, and it appears nouveau already does.
