From 86fc80f16e8a2449d5827bf1a9838b7fd9f70097 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 17:13:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] capabilities: Use RCU to protect task lookup in sys_capget cap_get_target_pid() protects the task lookup with tasklist_lock. security_capget() is called under tasklist_lock as well but tasklist_lock does not protect anything there. The capabilities are protected by RCU already. So tasklist_lock only protects the lookup and prevents the task going away, which can be done with rcu_read_lock() as well.
