Commit 01c7a6e
proc: proc_maps_open allow proc_mem_open to return NULL
commit c0e1b77 upstream.
The commit 65c6604 ("proc: fix the issue of proc_mem_open returning
NULL") caused proc_maps_open() to return -ESRCH when proc_mem_open()
returns NULL. This breaks legitimate /proc/<pid>/maps access for kernel
threads since kernel threads have NULL mm_struct.
The regression causes perf to fail and exit when profiling a kernel
thread:
# perf record -v -g -p $(pgrep kswapd0)
...
couldn't open /proc/65/task/65/maps
This patch partially reverts the commit to fix it.
