Oh.

Masami, may I ask you to delay these changes a bit?

This patch conflicts very much with other changes (hopefully in -mm soon)
we are doing.

If your patch comes first, we have to redo 12 patches. Besides, this patch
complicates do_coredump() even more while it really needs the cleanups.

Please see
http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/96f01d85034ca029/3b6bcb9b2d756dbc
I can send you these patches privately if you wish.

Oleg.
