Subject: [PATCH 8/9] um: Fix possible race on task->mm
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2012 00:09:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120423070935.GH30752@lizard> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120423070641.GA27702@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.
