From b9456371a73871d001e67b5f4eac118c2c278e1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 11:18:31 +0000 Subject: CRED: Fix commit_creds() on a process that has no mm Fix commit_creds()'s handling of a process that has no mm (such as one that is calling or has called daemonize()). commit_creds() should check to see if task->mm is not NULL before calling set_dumpable() on it.
