Subject: [PATCH] get_task_mm: check PF_KTHREAD lockless
Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2024 21:10:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240626191017.GA20031@redhat.com> (raw)
Nowadays PF_KTHREAD is sticky and it was never protected by ->alloc_lock.
Move the PF_KTHREAD check outside of task_lock() section to make this code
more understandable.
