Subject: CRED: Fix kernel panic upon security_file_alloc() failure.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.38-rc4~16
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=78d2978874e4e10e97dfd4fd79db45bdc0748550;p=pandora-kernel.git

CRED: Fix kernel panic upon security_file_alloc() failure.

In get_empty_filp() since 2.6.29, file_free(f) is called with f->f_cred == NULL
when security_file_alloc() returned an error.  As a result, kernel will panic()
due to put_cred(NULL) call within RCU callback.

Fix this bug by assigning f->f_cred before calling security_file_alloc().
