Hi, I happen to find this code snippet in the kernel source : struct mm_struct *mm=current->mm; /* some other code */ if(mm){ /*<==Why is this here? */ /*read the contents by locking*/ } The if checks whether the mm_struct of the current process is NULL or not. That means the mm_struct of a process can become NULL. How can that happen? |
