From c69e8d9c01db2adc503464993c358901c9af9de4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:39:19 +1100 Subject: CRED: Use RCU to access another task's creds and to release a task's own creds Use RCU to access another task's creds and to release a task's own creds. This means that it will be possible for the credentials of a task to be replaced without another task (a) requiring a full lock to read them, and (b) seeing deallocated memory.
