[PATCH 1/4] coredump: optimize ->mm users traversal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



zap_threads() iterates over all threads to find those ones which
share current->mm. All threads in the thread group share the same
->mm, so we can skip entire thread group if it has another ->mm.

This patch shifts the killing of thread group into the newly added
zap_process() function. This looks as unnecessary complication, but
it is used in further patches.
