Subject: cpuset: rcu_read_lock() to protect task_cs()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=13337714f3b0307dc7f75ef5d83ecf0db2abbd65;p=linux-beck.git

cpuset: rcu_read_lock() to protect task_cs()

task_cs() calls task_subsys_state().

We must use rcu_read_lock() to protect cgroup_subsys_state().

It's correct that top_cpuset is never freed, but cgroup_subsys_state()
accesses css_set, this css_set maybe freed when task_cs() called.

We use use rcu_read_lock() to protect it.
