This function is used by ptrace and proc files like /proc/pid/cmdline and /proc/pid/environ. Access_remote_vm never returns error codes, all errors are ignored and only size of successfully read data is returned. So, if current task was killed we'll simply return 0 (bytes read). Mmap_sem could be locked for a long time or forever if something goes wrong. Using a killable lock permits cleanup of stuck tasks and simplifies investigation.

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.
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.
