[PATCH 04/16] mm/migration: reduce the rcu lock duration

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Fri Mar 04 2022 - 04:35:25 EST


rcu_read_lock is required by grabbing the task refcount but it's not
needed for ptrace_may_access. So we could release the rcu lock after
task refcount is successfully grabbed to reduce the rcu holding time.
