Show all headers | View raw

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit 5ca6f70f387b4f82903037cc3c5488e2c97dcdbc upstream.

INTERRUPT_RETURN turns into a jmp instruction.  There's no need
for extra indirection.
