Subject: ptrace: PTRACE_GETFDPIC: fix the unsafe usage of child->mm
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e0129ef91ed758c06b6557c36124acfb2e1c7305;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ptrace: PTRACE_GETFDPIC: fix the unsafe usage of child->mm

Now that Mike Frysinger unified the FDPIC ptrace code, we can fix the
unsafe usage of child->mm in ptrace_request(PTRACE_GETFDPIC).

We have the reference to task_struct, and ptrace_check_attach() verified
the tracee is stopped.  But nothing can protect from SIGKILL after that,
we must not assume child->mm != NULL.
