^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ugh, sorry, this should be TASK_RUNNING. Please find the fixed patch below.
[PATCH] coredump: kill mm->core_done
Now that we have core_state->dumper list we can use it to wake up the
sub-threads waiting for the coredump completion.
This uglifies the code and .text grows by 47 bytes, but otoh mm_struct
lessens by sizeof(struct completion). Also, with this change we can
decouple exit_mm() from the coredumping code.
