Subject: [PATCH 07/10] Staging: android: task_get_unused_fd_flags: fix the wrong usage of tsk->signal
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 15:26:47 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1233185210-23098-7-git-send-email-gregkh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090128232319.GA23009@kroah.com>

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

Compile tested.

task_struct->signal is not protected by RCU, the code is bogus.
Change the code to take ->siglock to pin ->signal.
