Subject: [PATCH 4/6] exec: Run sync_mm_rss before taking exec_update_mutex
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk


Like exec_mm_release sync_mm_rss is about flushing out the state of
the old_mm, which does not need to happen under exec_update_mutex.

Make this explicit by moving sync_mm_rss outside of exec_update_mutex.
