If the VM reuses the file after fput run(), this will result in a use ater free. So obtain d_is_su before search_binary_handler() runs. This should explain this crash: [25333.009554] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000185 [..] [25333.009918] [2: am:21861] PC is at do_execve+0x354/0x474 Change-Id: I2a8a814d1c0aa75625be83cb30432cf13f1a0681 Signed-off-by: Kevin F.
