[PATCH v2 4/6] proc: use down_read_killable mmap_sem for /proc/pid/clear_refs

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Sun Jun 09 2019 - 06:13:34 EST


Do not stuck forever if something wrong.
Killable lock allows to cleanup stuck tasks and simplifies investigation.

Replace the only unkillable mmap_sem lock in clear_refs_write.
