From 201e72acb2d3821e2de9ce6091e98859c316b29a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2012 09:17:37 -0800 Subject: device_cgroup: fix RCU usage dev_cgroup->exceptions is protected with devcgroup_mutex for writes and RCU for reads; however, RCU usage isn't correct. * dev_exception_clean() doesn't use RCU variant of list_del() and kfree(). The function can race with may_access() and may_access() may end up dereferencing already freed memory. Use list_del_rcu() and kfree_rcu() instead. * may_access() may be called only with RCU read locked but doesn't use RCU safe traversal over ->exceptions. Use list_for_each_entry_rcu().
