Subject: [PATCH] for 2.6.16, disable unshare_vm()
Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2006 20:41:10 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <441C4636.15F57F6@tv-sign.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 441C4263.B779CDA8@tv-sign.ru

sys_unshare() does mmput(new_mm). This is not enough
if we have mm->core_waiters. This patch is a temporary
fix for soon to be released 2.6.16.
