    oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock · cef1d352
    KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
    Oleg pointed out current PF_EXITING check is wrong. Because PF_EXITING
    is per-thread flag, not per-process flag. He said,
    
       Two threads, group-leader L and its sub-thread T. T dumps the code.
       In this case both threads have ->mm != NULL, L has PF_EXITING.
    
       The first problem is, select_bad_process() always return -1 in this
       case (even if the caller is T, this doesn't matter).
    
       The second problem is that we should add TIF_MEMDIE to T, not L.
    
    I think we can remove this dubious PF_EXITING check. but as first step,
    This patch add the protection of multi threaded issue.
