[PATCH 1/4] mm/mempolicy: kernel_migrate_pages: simplify the usage of put_task_struct()
From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Sun May 24 2026 - 12:58:23 EST
kernel_migrate_pages() calls put_task_struct() twice; this complicates the
code. Move put_task_struct() to the unified exit path. This also allows us
to move the "out_put" label up and avoid another goto.
