From ab263f47c9781a644de8b28013434b645082922e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 14:19:41 +0000 Subject: audit: Use rcu for task lookup protection Protect the task lookups in audit_receive_msg() with rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock and use lock/unlock_sighand to protect against the exit race.
