Perhaps a little prettier like this:

Or maybe you'll have other reasons to add a task_user_mm() that returns
NULL for kthreads, and then just use task_user_mm(p) == dump_task->mm here.

Agreed, and twice at that (coredump_wait). But this is something more to
consider for the future, and I wouldn't worry about it right now.


Thanks,
