From c46038017fbdcac627b670c9d4176f1d0c2f5fa3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2019 21:00:00 -0700 Subject: proc: use down_read_killable mmap_sem for /proc/pid/clear_refs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Do not remain stuck forever if something goes wrong. Using a killable lock permits cleanup of stuck tasks and simplifies investigation. Replace the only unkillable mmap_sem lock in clear_refs_write().
