Thanks for clarification, Oleg. Then, Let me have a further question.
It means process_vm_readv, move_pages have same problem too because find_task_by_vpid
can return a zomebie leader and next line checks for mm_struct validation makes a
failure. My understand is correct? If so, we need to fix all places.
