kill do_each_thread()
Eric has pointed out that we still have 3 users of do_each_thread(). Change them to use for_each_process_thread() and kill this helper. There is a subtle change, after do_each_thread/while_each_thread g == t == &init_task, while after for_each_process_thread() they both point to nowhere, but this doesn't matter. > Why is for_each_process_thread() better than do_each_thread()? Say, for_each_process_thread() is rcu safe, do_each_thread() is not. And certainly for_each_process_thread(p, t) { do_something(p, t); } looks better than do_each_thread(p, t) { do_something(p, t); } while_each_thread(p, t); And again, there are only 3 users of this awkward helper left. It should have been killed years ago and in fact I thought it had already been killed. It uses while_each_thread() which needs some changes.
