Oleg Nesterov 66d06dffa5 uprobes: Kill uprobes_mutex[], separate alloc_uprobe() and __uprobe_register() ... uprobe_register() and uprobe_unregister() are the only users of mutex_lock(uprobes_hash(inode)), and the only reason why we can't simply remove it is that we need to ensure that delete_uprobe() is not possible after alloc_uprobe() and before consumer_add(). IOW, we need to ensure that when we take uprobe->register_rwsem this uprobe is still valid and we didn't race with _unregister() which called delete_uprobe() in between. With this patch uprobe_register() simply checks uprobe_is_active() and retries if it hits this very unlikely race. uprobes_mutex[] is no longer needed and can be removed. There is another reason for this change, prepare_uprobe() should be folded into alloc_uprobe() and we do not want to hold the extra locks around read_mapping_page/etc. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Anton Arapov <anton@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>		2013-02-08 17:47:10 +01:00
