From 5a2df662aafdabffb2cf3adb780a5adf66dfb3bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2012 17:03:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: Turn add_utask() into get_utask() Rename add_utask() into get_utask() and change it to allocate on demand to simplify the caller. Like get_xol_area() it will have more users.
