From 3c80fe4ac9cfb13b1bfa4edf1544e8b656716694 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 14:19:31 +0000 Subject: audit: Call tty_audit_push_task() outside preempt disabled While auditing all tasklist_lock read_lock sites I stumbled over the following call chain: audit_prepare_user_tty() read_lock(&tasklist_lock); tty_audit_push_task(); mutex_lock(&buf->mutex); --> buf->mutex is locked with preemption disabled. Solve this by acquiring a reference to the task struct under rcu_read_lock and call tty_audit_push_task outside of the preempt disabled region. Move all code which needs to be protected by sighand lock into tty_audit_push_task() and use lock/unlock_sighand as we do not hold tasklist_lock.
