[PATCH 2/9] arm: Use clear_tasks_mm_cpumask()

From: Anton Vorontsov <hidden>
Date: 2012-04-23 07:09:47
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-mm, linux-sh, linux-um, lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main
thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads
may still have a valid mm.

To fix this we would need to use find_lock_task_mm(), which would
walk up all threads and returns an appropriate task (with task
lock held).

clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() has this issue fixed, so let's use it.
