From f87fb599ae4d2a152a93f9821b94f3158146d097 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:07:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: mm_update_next_owner() should skip kthreads "Search through everything else" in mm_update_next_owner() can hit a kthread which adopted this "mm" via use_mm(), it should not be used as mm->owner. Add the PF_KTHREAD check. While at it, change this code to use for_each_process_thread() instead of deprecated do_each_thread/while_each_thread.
