The patch titled Subject: mempolicy: remove the "task" arg of vma_policy_mof() and simplify it has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mempolicy-remove-the-task-arg-of-vma_policy_mof-and-simplify-it.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mempolicy-remove-the-task-arg-of-vma_policy_mof-and-simplify-it.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mempolicy-remove-the-task-arg-of-vma_policy_mof-and-simplify-it.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mempolicy: remove the "task" arg of vma_policy_mof() and simplify it 1. vma_policy_mof(task) is simply not safe unless task == current, it can race with do_exit()->mpol_put(). Remove this arg and update its single caller. 2. vma can not be NULL, remove this check and simplify the code.
