Subject: Re: [PATCH] prctl: Don't compile some of prctl functions when CRUI
Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2019 14:23:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190417122349.GA15498@blackbody.suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180420140044.478b4c88d3cf238bd440f2a7@linux-foundation.org>

Hi.

I see this discussion somewhat faded away since the previous year.

There was rework [1] that reduced (ab)use of mmap_sem in prctl
functions.

Actually, there still remains the down_write() in prctl_set_mm.
I considered at least replacing it with the mm_struct.arg_lock +
down_read() but then I learnt about this thread intending to remove that
part completely. I wouldn't oppose if CRIU is the sole (aware) user.

Ad the bot build issue, I could build the kernel both with
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and without CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE just
fine after applying the two proposed patches.

What is the current state? Perhaps, this change should be CCed to
linux-api@vger.kernel.org(?).

Thanks,
Michal
