Subject: [PATCH 1/5] uprobes: Change the callsite of uprobe_copy_process()
Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2013 21:18:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131013191831.GA32480@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131013191815.GA32466@redhat.com>

Preparation for the next patches.

Move the callsite of uprobe_copy_process() in copy_process() down
to the succesfull return. We do not care if copy_process() fails,
uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong
->utask != NULL doesn't matter.

OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when
uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return
to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can:

	1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary

	2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area

	3. use task_work_add(p)

Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it
can see get_utask().
