It seems my fault that it's not initialized to be 0 at do_fork(), copy_process.

About do_exit, do_exit() does this check. So, tsk->mm can be NULL.

 949         if (group_dead) {
 950                 hrtimer_cancel(&tsk->signal->real_timer);
 951                 exit_itimers(tsk->signal);
 952                 if (tsk->mm)
 953                         setmax_mm_hiwater_rss(&tsk->signal->maxrss, tsk->mm);
 954         }

Ah, yes. I should do so.

==

task->rss_stat wasn't initialized to 0 at copy_process().
at exit, tsk->mm may be NULL.
And __sync_task_rss_stat() should be static.
