Subject: vm_is_stack: use for_each_thread() rather then buggy while_each_thread()
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4449a51a7c281602d3a385044ab928322a122a02;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

vm_is_stack: use for_each_thread() rather then buggy while_each_thread()

Aleksei hit the soft lockup during reading /proc/PID/smaps.  David
investigated the problem and suggested the right fix.

while_each_thread() is racy and should die, this patch updates
vm_is_stack().
