Here rcu_read_lock will not help, as our task may change due to below algo:

for_each_thread(p, t) {
  		task_lock(t);
+		get_task_struct(t);
  		if (likely(t->mm))
  			goto found;
  		task_unlock(t);
+		put_task_struct(t)


So only we can increase usage counter here only at the current task.

I have seen you new patch, that seems valid to me and it will resolve our issue.
Thanks for support.

Regards

Gaurav
