Subject: fork: Add task stack refcounting sanity check and prevent premature task stack freeing
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=405c0759712f57b680f66aee9c55cd06ad1cbdef;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

fork: Add task stack refcounting sanity check and prevent premature task stack freeing

If something goes wrong with task stack refcounting and a stack
refcount hits zero too early, warn and leak it rather than
potentially freeing it early (and silently).
