Subject: [PATCH 4/4] uprobes: Kill uprobe->copy_mutex
Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2012 19:02:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121124180236.GA30993@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121124180213.GA30963@redhat.com>

Now that ->register_rwsem is safe under ->mmap_sem we can kill
->copy_mutex and abuse down_write(&uprobe->consumer_rwsem).

This makes prepare_uprobe() even more ugly, but we should kill
it anyway.
