From 269b005a28e124a341df4adef2c3661cf7371fcc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 14:43:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] coredump: shift down_write(mmap_sem) into coredump_wait() - move the cprm.mm_flags checks up, before we take mmap_sem - move down_write(mmap_sem) and ->core_state check from do_coredump() to coredump_wait() This simplifies the code and makes the locking symmetrical.
