From 14d8c9f3c09e7fd7b9af80904289fe204f5b93c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:53:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] signal: Fix racy access to __task_cred in kill_pid_info_as_uid() kill_pid_info_as_uid() accesses __task_cred() without being in a RCU read side critical section. tasklist_lock is not protecting that when CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y. Convert the whole tasklist_lock section to rcu and use lock_task_sighand to prevent the exit race.
