From: Li Zefan Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 08:08:01 +0000 (+0800) Subject: cpuset: fix cpuset_print_task_mems_allowed() vs rename() race X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=63f43f55c9bbc14f76b582644019b8a07dc8219a;p=linux-beck.git cpuset: fix cpuset_print_task_mems_allowed() vs rename() race rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold a longer name. It's safe in the protection of dentry->d_lock. v2: check NULL dentry before acquiring dentry lock.
