From dc7ee2aac830e5423f41de87d50441f138f648da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:28:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] coredump: change wait_for_dump_helpers() to use wait_event_interruptible() wait_for_dump_helpers() calls wake_up/kill_fasync from inside the wait_event-like loop. This is not needed and in fact this is not strictly correct, we can/should do this only once after we change pipe->writers. We could even check if it becomes zero. Change this code to use use wait_event_interruptible(), this can also help to make this wait freezable. With this patch we check pipe->readers without pipe_lock(), this is fine. Once we see pipe->readers == 1 we know that the handler decremented the counter, this is all we need. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Mandeep Singh Baines Cc: Neil Horman Cc: "Rafael J.
