From 2384f55f8aa520172c995965bd2f8a9740d53095 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 15:02:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] coredump_wait() cleanup This patch deletes pointless code from coredump_wait(). 1. It does useless mm->core_waiters inc/dec under mm->mmap_sem, but any changes to ->core_waiters have no effect until we drop ->mmap_sem. 2. It calls yield() for absolutely unknown reason.
