    Subject[patch 67/74] mm_for_maps: simplify, use ptrace_may_access()
    2.6.30-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

    commit 13f0feafa6b8aead57a2a328e2fca6a5828bf286 upstream.

    It would be nice to kill __ptrace_may_access(). It requires task_lock(),
    but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle.

    Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies
    the code a little bit.

    Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think
    mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should
    take this lock.

    With or without this patch, without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
    with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.
