From 4ef9e11d6867f88951e30db910fa015300e31871 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hillf Danton Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2010 21:55:28 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix freeing user_struct in user cache When racing on adding into user cache, the new allocated from mm slab is freed without putting user namespace. Since the user namespace is already operated by getting, putting has to be issued.
