>From efee681e4ca6152d9549a50e93ca932b00f03014 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-ker...@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> Date: Tue, 24 Dec 2013 18:04:43 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] GFS2: Fix unsafe dereference in dump_holder()
Since we are not in RCU nor tasklist_lock held, we need to grab a reference on the returned task_struct. Use get_pid_task()/get_task_comm() to safely read the target task's comm name.
