Hi Jens, it was my mistake. Sorry for that.

MADV_(COLD|PAGEOUT) checks both caller and callee and the part aims for
callee(ie, target task). Thus, we could pass NULL for io_madvise if
it couldn't know who is target and let's have NULL check before the
fatal_signal_pending. I will put following checks in [3/7].

	if (private->target_Task &&
			fatal_signal_pending(private->target_task))
		return -EINTR;

Subject: [PATCH] mm: pass task and mm to do_madvise

In upcoming patches, do_madvise will be called from external process
context so we shouldn't asssume "current" is always hinted process's
task_struct. Furthermore, we couldn't access mm_struct via task->mm
once it's verified by access_mm which will be introduced in next
patch[1]. And let's pass *current* and current->mm as arguments of
do_madvise so it shouldn't change existing behavior but prepare
next patch to make review easy.

Note: io_madvise pass NULL as target_tas argument of do_madvise
because it couldn't know who is target.
