Subject: [PATCH] proc_readfd_common() race fix
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~1097^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9b4f526cdc0f95f635607dfba6ac788b3deca188;p=karo-tx-linux.git

[PATCH] proc_readfd_common() race fix

Since we drop the rcu_read_lock inside the loop, we can't assume
that files->fdt will remain unchanged (and not freed) between
iterations.
