Subject: why hold bkl during do_coredump?
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2004 13:52:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <410FDF04.9000609@sgi.com> (raw)

I'm looking at not holding the bkl during do_coredump, but I can't 
figure out why its being held in the first place. I can only think of 
the need to not mess with the current memory map, but mmap_sem is 
currently held as well. Anybody know what is going on here?
