Subject: [PATCH 1/4] coredump: optimize ->mm users traversal
Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2006 02:06:07 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060406220607.GA232@oleg> (raw)

zap_threads() iterates over all threads to find those ones which
share current->mm. All threads in the thread group share the same
->mm, so we can skip entire thread group if it has another ->mm.

This patch shifts the killing of thread group into the newly added
zap_process() function. This looks as unnecessary complication, but
it is used in further patches.
