Subject: [PATCH tip/core/urgent 02/10] KEYS: Fix an RCU warning
Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 11:53:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1272912799-17859-2-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100503185253.GA17672@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Fix the following RCU warning:
===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
security/keys/request_key.c:116 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
1 lock held by keyctl/5372:
#0: (key_types_sem){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff811a4e3d>] key_type_lookup+0x1c/0x70
stack backtrace:
Pid: 5372, comm: keyctl Not tainted 2.6.34-rc3-cachefs #150
