From 844b9a8707f1fcf0482e0c52f44a555e799ccda6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 13:24:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and some other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc, the current rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive RCU-lockdep splat due to the reference count being increased by the /proc access after the reference-count check in fget_light() but before the check in rcu_dereference_check_fdtable(). This commit prevents this false positive by checking for a single-threaded process. To avoid #include hell, this commit uses the wrapper for thread_group_empty(current) defined by rcu_my_thread_group_empty() provided in a separate commit.
