From 2fd611a991391a6050cbd139201a2e12fc306540 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:22:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: Suppress uprobe_munmap() from mmput() uprobe_munmap() does get_user_pages() and it is also called from the final mmput()->exit_mmap() path. This slows down exit/mmput() for no reason, and I think it is simply dangerous/wrong to try to fault-in a page into the dying mm. If nothing else, this happens after the last sync_mm_rss(), afaics handle_mm_fault() can change the task->rss_stat and make the subsequent check_mm() unhappy. Change uprobe_munmap() to check mm->mm_users != 0.
