From 5826e620694c056e27dae2f1e1e31005c93ab7e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 17:45:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] selinux: selinux_setprocattr()->ptrace_parent() needs rcu_read_lock() commit c0c1439541f5305b57a83d599af32b74182933fe upstream. selinux_setprocattr() does ptrace_parent(p) under task_lock(p), but task_struct->alloc_lock doesn't pin ->parent or ->ptrace, this looks confusing and triggers the "suspicious RCU usage" warning because ptrace_parent() does rcu_dereference_check(). And in theory this is wrong, spin_lock()->preempt_disable() doesn't necessarily imply rcu_read_lock() we need to access the ->parent.
