I don't see it mentioned in the discussion, so at a risk of ruffling feathers or looking really bad I'm going to ask: is the locking of any use if the forking process is single-threaded? T
Sadly, we've always been able to access the mm from other processes, so the locking is - I think - unavoidable.
And some of those "access from other processes" aren't even uncommon or special. It's things like "ps" etc, that do it just to see the process name and arguments.
