From 47fecca15c0944924423390fe21b956eea57da30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2014 15:25:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc/task_nommu.c: don't use priv->task->mm I do not know if CONFIG_PREEMPT/SMP is possible without CONFIG_MMU but the usage of task->mm in m_stop(). The task can exit/exec before we take mmap_sem, in this case m_stop() can hit NULL or unlock the wrong rw_semaphore. Also, this code uses priv->task != NULL to decide whether we need up_read/mmput. This is correct, but we will probably kill priv->task. Change m_start/m_stop to rely on IS_ERR_OR_NULL() like task_mmu.c does. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Kirill A.
