Subject: [PATCH] CRED: Move the exec mutex release out of bprm_free()
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:39:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080821123907.4731.54839.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)

Move the exec mutex release out of free_bprm() and into the error handling
paths of do_execve() and compat_do_execve().  install_exec_creds() already
takes care of the success path.
