From b56863630ddbdea6e22df8835f78f0b1da037103 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Darren Hart Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:06:34 -0800 Subject: futex: clean up futex_(un)lock_pi fault handling Impact: cleanup Some apparently left over cruft code was complicating the fault logic: Testing if uval != -EFAULT doesn't have any meaning, get_user() sets ret to either 0 or -EFAULT, there's no need to compare uval, especially not against EFAULT which it will never be. This patch removes the superfluous test and clarifies the comment blocks. Build and boot tested on an 8way x86_64 system.
