Konstantin Khlebnikov 6ecdcbcd30 proc: use down_read_killable mmap_sem for /proc/pid/map_files
[ Upstream commit cd9e2bb827 ]

Do not remain stuck forever if something goes wrong.  Using a killable
lock permits cleanup of stuck tasks and simplifies investigation.

It seems ->d_revalidate() could return any error (except ECHILD) to abort
validation and pass error as result of lookup sequence.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix proc_map_files_lookup() return value, per Andrei]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
