    mm: grab rcu read lock in move_pages() · a879bf58
    Greg Thelen 提交于
    The move_pages() usage of find_task_by_vpid() requires rcu_read_lock() to
    prevent free_pid() from reclaiming the pid.
    
    Without this patch, RCU warnings are printed in v2.6.38-rc4 move_pages()
    with:
    
      CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
      CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
      CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
      CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
      CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y
    
    Previously, migrate_pages() went through a similar transformation
    replacing usage of tasklist_lock with rcu read lock:
