From 7f414195b0c3612acd12b4611a5fe75995cf10c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2017 16:52:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/ldt: Make LDT pgtable free conditional Andy prefers to be paranoid about the pagetable free in the error path of write_ldt(). Make it conditional and warn whenever the installment of a secondary LDT fails.
