Subject: [PATCH] Fix unserialized task->files changing
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~767
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b9b8ab65d8eed784b9164d03807cb2bda7b5cd6;p=karo-tx-linux.git

[PATCH] Fix unserialized task->files changing

Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc.  Restoring files on
current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d
files_struct.

->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all
things under lock.

Found during OpenVZ stress testing.
