Subject: mm_for_maps: simplify, use ptrace_may_access()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a893a84e8799270fbec5c3708d001650aab47138;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

mm_for_maps: simplify, use ptrace_may_access()

It would be nice to kill __ptrace_may_access(). It requires task_lock(),
but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle.

Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies
the code a little bit.

Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think
mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should
take this lock.

With or without this patch, without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.
