From 37ad8aca94a1da2112a7c56151390914e80d1113 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:32:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] freezer: use lock_task_sighand() in fake_signal_wake_up() cgroup_freezer calls freeze_task() without holding tasklist_lock and, if the task is exiting, its ->sighand may be gone by the time fake_signal_wake_up() is called. Use lock_task_sighand() instead of accessing ->sighand directly. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Rafael J.
