Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Intro: convert lockd to kthread and fix use-after-free (try #3)
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 15:19:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1198009182-27895-1-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> (raw)
This is the third patchset to fix the use-after-free problem in lockd,
and to convert lockd to use the kthread API instead of kernel_thread.
The main change from the last patchset is the elimination of the
svc_create_kthread helper function, and having lockd_up call kthread_run
directly. I've also made some changes to the function prototype for
the lockd function to eliminate the need for casting the function
pointer.
Tested against the reproducer I have for the main issue (detailed in
patch #7). As always, comments and suggestions are appreciated.
