From 3b9b8ab65d8eed784b9164d03807cb2bda7b5cd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kirill Korotaev Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:00:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix unserialized task->files changing Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc. Restoring files on current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d files_struct. ->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all things under lock. Found during OpenVZ stress testing.
