From d17af5056cf9e9fc05e68832f7c15687fcc12281 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2016 10:58:58 -0700 Subject: mm: Change vm_is_stack_for_task() to vm_is_stack_for_current() Asking for a non-current task's stack can't be done without races unless the task is frozen in kernel mode. As far as I know, vm_is_stack_for_task() never had a safe non-current use case. The __unused annotation is because some KSTK_ESP implementations ignore their parameter, which IMO is further justification for this patch.
