[PATCH V2] mm: vmalloc: don't remove inexistent guard hole in remove_vm_area()

From: Jerome Marchand
Date: Thu Nov 12 2015 - 11:37:26 EST


Commit 71394fe50146 ("mm: vmalloc: add flag preventing guard hole
allocation") missed a spot. Currently remove_vm_area() decreases
vm->size to "remove" the guard hole page, even when it isn't present.
All but one users just free the vm_struct rigth away and never access
vm->size anyway.
Don't touch the size in remove_vm_area() and have __vunmap() use the
proper get_vm_area_size() helper.
