Subject: pids: sys_getpgid: fix unsafe *pid usage, s/tasklist/rcu/
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=12a3de0a965826096d8adc593bcf4392a7d5b459;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

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().
