Subject: [PATCH 03/10] powerpc: Use clear_tasks_mm_cpumask()
Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 14:28:31 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120324102831.GC29067@lizard> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120324102609.GA28356@lizard>

Current CPU hotplug code has some task->mm handling issues:

1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock is
   dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under
   task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough).

   We can't use get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep,
   so we must take the task lock while handle its mm.

2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main
   thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads
   may still have a valid mm.

   To fix this we would need to use find_lock_task_mm(), which would
   walk up all threads and returns an appropriate task (with task
   lock held).

clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() has all the issues fixed, so let's use it.
