Subject: Re: [PATCH stable 4.4 v2] coredump: fix race condition between
 mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping

Just a heads up. Ajay Kaher has noticed that mlx4 driver is missing the
check in 4.14 [1] and 4.4 seems to have the same problem. I will wait
for more review before reposting v3. The incremental diff is:
