Subject: [PATCH 08/10] um: Fix possible race on task->mm
Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 10:30:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120324103050.GH29067@lizard> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120324102609.GA28356@lizard>

Checking for task->mm is dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm()
assigns NULL under task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough).

We can't use get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep,
so let's take the task lock while we care about its mm.

Note that we should also use find_lock_task_mm() to check all process'
threads for a valid mm, but for uml we'll do it in a separate patch.
