Subject[PATCH 3.13 171/187] vm_is_stack: use for_each_thread() rather then buggy while_each_thread()
Date
3.13.11.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

commit 4449a51a7c281602d3a385044ab928322a122a02 upstream.

Aleksei hit the soft lockup during reading /proc/PID/smaps. David
investigated the problem and suggested the right fix.

while_each_thread() is racy and should die, this patch updates
vm_is_stack().
