Subject: NFS core dump blocks
Date: 31 Mar 2003 16:51:23 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6eoznnbnipg.fsf@sgi.com> (raw)


This is not an issue in 2.5, but in 2.4:

When running a large app over NFS, it crashes and dumps core.  This
takes some time, during which ps, top, and other customers of /proc
hang while they wait for the mmap_sem.  Is there an argument against
changing the

        down_write(&current->mm->mmap_sem);

in fs/binfmt_elf.c:elf_core_dump to

        down_read(&current->mm->mmap_sem);

Thanks,
Chad
