Subject: bsdacct: fix access to invalid filp in acct_on()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31-rc2~44
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=df279ca8966c3de83105428e3391ab17690802a9;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-x86-ivi.git

bsdacct: fix access to invalid filp in acct_on()

The file opened in acct_on and freshly stored in the ns->bacct struct can
be closed in acct_file_reopen by a concurrent call after we release
acct_lock and before we call mntput(file->f_path.mnt).

Record file->f_path.mnt in a local variable and use this variable only.
