Subject: [patch 1/3] audit: Call tty_audit_push_task() outside preempt disabled
Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:00:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100907111349.782893465@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100907111326.202980881@linutronix.de

[-- Attachment #1: audit-call-tty_audit_push_task-outside-preempt-disabled.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4508 bytes --]

While auditing all tasklist_lock read_lock sites I stumbled over the
following call chain:

audit_prepare_user_tty()
  read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
  tty_audit_push_task();
     mutex_lock(&buf->mutex);

     --> buf->mutex is locked with preemption disabled.

Solve this by acquiring a reference to the task struct under
rcu_read_lock and call tty_audit_push_task outside of the preempt
disabled region.

Move all code which needs to be protected by sighand lock into
tty_audit_push_task() and use lock/unlock_sighand as we do not hold
tasklist_lock.
