Subject: [PATCH tip/core/urgent 2/3] KEYS: Fix an RCU warning in the reading of user keys
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 12:54:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1271966047-9701-2-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100422195345.GA9639@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Fix an RCU warning in the reading of user keys:
===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
security/keys/user_defined.c:202 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
1 lock held by keyctl/3637:
#0: (&key->sem){+++++.}, at: [<ffffffff811a80ae>] keyctl_read_key+0x9c/0xcf
stack backtrace:
Pid: 3637, comm: keyctl Not tainted 2.6.34-rc5-cachefs #18
Call Trace:
