From 701188374b6f1ef9cf7e4dce4a2e69ef4c0012ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:44:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sys.c: fix missing rcu protection for sys_getpriority() find_task_by_vpid() is not safe without rcu_read_lock(). 2.6.33-rc7 got RCU protection for sys_setpriority() but missed it for sys_getpriority().
