[PATCH 1/4] iommu/amd: Don't set pasid_state->mm to NULL in unbind_pasid

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Wed Jul 30 2014 - 10:04:56 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

With calling te mmu_notifier_register function we hold a
reference to the mm_struct that needs to be released in
mmu_notifier_unregister. This is true even if the notifier
was already unregistered from exit_mmap and the .release
call-back has already run.

So make sure we call mmu_notifier_unregister unconditionally
in amd_iommu_unbind_pasid.
