From e0e8eb54d8ae0c4cfd1d297f6351b08a7f635c5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 10:31:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] unshare: Use rcu_assign_pointer when setting sighand The sighand pointer only needs the rcu_read_lock on the read side. So only depending on task_lock protection when setting this pointer is not enough. We also need a memory barrier to ensure the initialization is seen first. Use rcu_assign_pointer as it does this for us, and clearly documents that we are setting an rcu readable pointer. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Paul E.
