Subject: fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: fix potential page fault while unregistering sysctl table
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b62143830170e14ccd94c2e340a2ce8f2f4c777b;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: fix potential page fault while unregistering sysctl table

[ Upstream commit a0b0d1c345d0317efe594df268feb5ccc99f651e ]

proc_sys_link_fill_cache() does not take currently unregistering sysctl
tables into account, which might result into a page fault in
sysctl_follow_link() - add a check to fix it.

This bug has been present since v3.4.
