Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: do_each_pid_task() needs rcu lock
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2009 20:39:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090203193904.GA23695@redhat.com> (raw)

"ftrace: use struct pid" commit 978f3a45d9499c7a447ca7615455cefb63d44165
converted ftrace_pid_trace to "struct pid*". But we can't use
do_each_pid_task() without rcu_read_lock() even if we know the pid
itself can't go away (it was pinned in ftrace_pid_write). The exiting
task can detach itself from this pid at any moment.
