From 3ec2f427e6f82b9b8f9b18dd2c758b864385df39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2014 20:42:18 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix refcount leak and possible NULL pointerdereference. Since get_pid_task() grabs a reference on the task_struct, we have to drop the refcount after reading that task's comm name. Use pid_task() with RCU instead. Also, avoid directly reading like pid_task()->comm because pid_task() will return NULL if the task have already exit()ed. This patch fixes both problems.
