fs/proc/task_mmu.c: don't use task->mm in m_start() and show_*map()
get_gate_vma(priv->task->mm) looks ugly and wrong, task->mm can be NULL or it can changed by exec right after mm_access(). And in theory this race is not harmless, the task can exec and then later exit and free the new mm_struct. In this case get_task_mm(oldmm) can't help, get_gate_vma(task->mm) can read the freed/unmapped memory. I think that priv->task should simply die and hold_task_mempolicy() logic can be simplified. tail_vma logic asks for cleanups too. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.
