From 4bdd401e8b7384a685606f2254e634805580a2aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:19:36 +0800 Subject: cpuset: fix a race condition in __cpuset_node_allowed_softwall() commit 99afb0fd5f05aac467ffa85c36778fec4396209b upstream. It's not safe to access task's cpuset after releasing task_lock(). Holding callback_mutex won't help.
