From 9b4f526cdc0f95f635607dfba6ac788b3deca188 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:32:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] proc_readfd_common() race fix Since we drop the rcu_read_lock inside the loop, we can't assume that files->fdt will remain unchanged (and not freed) between iterations.
