oom: __task_cred() need rcu_read_lock()
dump_tasks() needs to hold the RCU read lock around its access of the target task's UID. To this end it should use task_uid() as it only needs that one thing from the creds. The fact that dump_tasks() holds tasklist_lock is insufficient to prevent the target process replacing its credentials on another CPU. Then, this patch change to call rcu_read_lock() explicitly. =================================================== [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ] --------------------------------------------------- mm/oom_kill.c:410 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1 4 locks held by kworker/1:2/651: #0: (events){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8106aae7>] process_one_work+0x137/0x4a0 #1: (moom_work){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106aae7>] process_one_work+0x137/0x4a0 #2: (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff810fafd4>] out_of_memory+0x164/0x3f0 #3: (&(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff810fa48e>] find_lock_task_mm+0x2e/0x70 Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paul E.
