From f409adf5b1db55ece7e80b67a944f9c0d3fe93e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 14:02:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] futex: Protect pid lookup in compat code with RCU find_task_by_vpid() in compat_sys_get_robust_list() does not require tasklist_lock. It can be protected with rcu_read_lock as done in sys_get_robust_list() already.
