fs/proc/ does not use tasklist_lock anymore.
These patches are simple enough and do not depend on each other.
The only problem I don't know how to really test them.
Can anybody recommend a stress-test?
Oleg.

Just to make sure I understand what it is all about: Is there a relation
between this patchset and the recent patch from Eric fixing the
readdir(/proc) race?
Thanks,

No, they are not related. This series doesn't fix bugs, just
removes tasklist_lock from fs/proc/ entirely.
