Re: Query: Crash is coming during /prod/PID/stat and do_exit of same task

Hi John, Ingo

As still we are seeing race between do_task_stat and do_exit of task, 
Can't we have to
put more strict check in case, if stack pointer is NULL in below code :

                 if (permitted && (task->flags & PF_DUMPCORE)) {
                         eip = KSTK_EIP(task);
                         esp = KSTK_ESP(task);
                 }

Regards
Gaurav
