Thanks Sashiko, let me reply.
As for reply to 3/4:
I honestly think this is not a problem... but a) I will think
again, and b) I rely on review from mm experts anyway.
The main motivation for this patch is that we can create a common
helper for find_mm_struct() and kernel_migrate_pages(), but it is
not strictly necessary.
As for reply to 4/4:
Yes! And I have already mentioned this in 0/4 and in the previous
discussions.
Plus (say) proc_coredump_filter_write() which relies on the open-time
checks and don't use ptrace_may_access() at all. This looks wrong.
But this need other changes/discussions, so I think we can ignore this
comment.
Oleg.
