Subject: rework/fix is_single_threaded()
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
- Fix the comment, is_single_threaded(p) actually means that nobody shares
->mm with p.
I think this helper should be renamed, and it should not have arguments.
With or without this patch it must not be used unless p == current,
otherwise we can't safely use p->signal or p->mm.
- "if (atomic_read(&p->signal->count) != 1)" is not right when we have a
zombie group leader, use signal->live instead.
- Add PF_KTHREAD check to skip kernel threads which may borrow p->mm,
otherwise we can return the wrong "false".
- Use for_each_process() instead of do_each_thread(), all threads must use
the same ->mm.
- Use down_write(mm->mmap_sem) + rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock
to iterate over the process list. If there is another CLONE_VM process
it can't pass exit_mm() which takes the same mm->mmap_sem. We can miss
a freshly forked CLONE_VM task, but this doesn't matter because we must
see its parent and return false.
