From bce9a234ce7d8dddbfcec28e37ea58b5d8f6003d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:00:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] elf_fdpic_core_dump: don't take tasklist_lock do_each_thread() is rcu-safe, and all tasks which use this ->mm must sleep in wait_for_completion(&mm->core_done) at this point, so we can use RCU locks. Also, remove unneeded INIT_LIST_HEAD(new) before list_add(new, head).
