Subject: [PATCH 9/9] um: Properly check all process' threads for a live mm
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2012 00:09:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120423070943.GI30752@lizard> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120423070641.GA27702@lizard>
kill_off_processes() might miss a valid process, this is because
checking for process->mm is not enough. Process' main thread may
exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads may still
have a valid mm.
To catch this we use find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all
threads and returns an appropriate task (with task lock held).
