Description Jason Baron 2007-06-28 15:56:39 UTC 
Description of problem:



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

 remove unused var in alloc_ldt() 


How reproducible:




Steps to Reproduce:
This is very simple. The 4g4g patch removes all the accesses to the
'oldsize' variable in alloc_ldt(), except one now useless assignment and the
variable declaration. This patch fully remove the useless variable.
I test it using the 223851 reproducer which make heavy use of this part of
code.
