Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mm/mempolicy: kernel_migrate_pages: simplify the usage of put_task_struct()
Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 18:57:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ahMuF6FC6TIOZ-iZ@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ahMt6xyUNnacZU8-@redhat.com>

kernel_migrate_pages() calls put_task_struct() twice; this complicates the
code. Move put_task_struct() to the unified exit path. This also allows us
to move the "out_put" label up and avoid another goto.
