Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] uprobes: Use brw_mutex to fix register/unregister vs dup_mmap() race
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:33:25 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121018070325.GJ11096@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

> So this patch simply adds brw_start/end_read() around dup_mmap(), and
> brw_start/end_write() into register_for_each_vma().

> This adds 2 new hooks into dup_mmap() but we can kill uprobe_dup_mmap()
> and fold it into uprobe_end_dup_mmap().
