Subject: [PATCH] mm: use down_read_killable for locking mmap_sem in
access_remote_vm
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This function is used by ptrace and proc files like /proc/pid/cmdline and
/proc/pid/environ.
Access_remote_vm never returns error codes, all errors are ignored and
only size of successfully read data is returned. So, if current task was
killed we'll simply return 0 (bytes read).
Mmap_sem could be locked for a long time or forever if something goes
wrong. Using a killable lock permits cleanup of stuck tasks and
simplifies investigation.
