Subject: [PATCH] disable unshare(CLONE_VM) for now
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2d61b86775a5676a8fba2ba2f0f869564e35c630;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[PATCH] disable unshare(CLONE_VM) for now

sys_unshare() does mmput(new_mm).  This is not enough if we have
mm->core_waiters.

This patch is a temporary fix for soon to be released 2.6.16.

[ Checked with Uli: "I'm not planning to use unshare(CLONE_VM).  It's
  not needed for any functionality planned so far.  What we (as in Red
  Hat) need unshare() for now is the filesystem side." ]
