Subject: [PATCH 4/4] coredump: shift down_write(mmap_sem) into coredump_wait()
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:39:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100316193941.GE31632@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100316193750.GA31632@redhat.com>
- move the cprm.mm_flags checks up, before we take mmap_sem
- move down_write(mmap_sem) and ->core_state check from do_coredump()
to coredump_wait()
This simplifies the code and makes the locking symmetrical.
