Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] kthread: to_live_kthread() needs try_get_task_stack()
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2016 22:45:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cb9b16bbc19d4aea4507ab0552e4644c1211d130.1474003868.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1474003868.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1474003868.git.luto@kernel.org>
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
get_task_struct(tsk) no longer pins tsk->stack so all users of
to_live_kthread() should do try_get_task_stack/put_task_stack to protect
"struct kthread" which lives on kthread's stack.
TODO: Kill to_live_kthread(), perhaps we can even kill "struct kthread" too,
and rework kthread_stop(), it can use task_work_add() to sync with the exiting
kernel thread.
