From 99afb0fd5f05aac467ffa85c36778fec4396209b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:19:36 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] cpuset: fix a race condition in __cpuset_node_allowed_softwall() It's not safe to access task's cpuset after releasing task_lock(). Holding callback_mutex won't help.
