[PATCH] bacct_add_tsk: fix unsafe and wrong parent/group_leader dereference
1. ts = timespec_sub(uptime, current->group_leader->start_time); It is possible that current != tsk. Probably it was supposed to be 'tsk->group_leader->start_time. But why we are reading group_leader's start_time ? This accounting is per thread, not per procees, I changed this to 'tsk->start_time. Please corect me. 2. stats->ac_ppid = (tsk->parent) ? tsk->parent->pid : 0; tsk->parent never == NULL, and it is unsafe to dereference it. Both the task and it's parent may exit after the caller unlocks tasklist_lock, the memory could be unmapped (DEBUG_SLAB). (And we should use ->real_parent->tgid in fact). Q: I don't understand the 'if (thread_group_leader(tsk))' check. Why it is needed ?
