[PATCH] mm: use down_read_killable for locking mmap_sem in access_remote_vm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This function is used by ptrace and proc files like /proc/pid/cmdline and
/proc/pid/environ. Return 0 (bytes read) if current task is killed.

Mmap_sem could be locked for a long time or forever if something wrong.
