From 2e2ba22ea4fd4bb85f0fa37c521066db6775cbef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:53:01 -0700 Subject: signals: check_kill_permission: check session under tasklist_lock This wasn't documented, but as Atsushi Tsuji pointed out check_kill_permission() needs tasklist_lock for task_session_nr(). I missed this fact when removed tasklist from the callers. Change check_kill_permission() to take tasklist_lock for the SIGCONT case. Re-order security checks so that we take tasklist_lock only if/when it is actually needed. This is a minimal fix for now, tasklist will be removed later. Also change the code to use task_session() instead of task_session_nr(). Also, remove the SIGCONT check from cap_task_kill(), it is bogus (and the whole function is bogus. Serge, Eric, why it is still alive?).
