Subject: [06/11] tty: fix race in tty_fasync
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:14:42 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100126191624.538119758@mini.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100126191730.GA20872@kroah.com>

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

commit 703625118069f9f8960d356676662d3db5a9d116 upstream.

We need to keep the lock held over the call to __f_setown() to
prevent a PID race.

Thanks to Al Viro for pointing out the problem, and to Travis for
making us look here in the first place.
