Yes, this should fix the problem with kthread_stop()...
Damn, Konstantin I have to admit, I'll try to find another technical
reason against mm-correctly-synchronize-rss-counters-at-exit-exec.patch
even with this fix ;)
Most probably I am wrong, but it looks overcomplicated. Somehow I
dislike irrationally the fact you moved mm_release() from exit_mm().
But, once again, it is not that I see the better solution.
2/2 looks fine at first glance... and afaics it is "off-topic".
Oleg.
