Subject: mm/mempolicy.c: add rcu read lock to protect pid structure
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc5~26
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=55cfaa3cbdd29c4919ecb5fb8965c310f357e48c;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

mm/mempolicy.c: add rcu read lock to protect pid structure

find_task_by_vpid() should be protected by rcu_read_lock(), to prevent
free_pid() reclaiming pid.
