From 12a3de0a965826096d8adc593bcf4392a7d5b459 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:54:29 -0700 Subject: pids: sys_getpgid: fix unsafe *pid usage, s/tasklist/rcu/ 1. sys_getpgid() needs rcu_read_lock() to derive the pgrp _nr, even if the task is current, otherwise we can race with another thread which does sys_setpgid(). 2. Use rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock when pid != 0, make sure that we don't use the NULL pid if the task exits right after successful find_task_by_vpid().
