From a7295898a1d2e501427f557111c2b4bdfc90b1ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 16:21:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] taskstats: add_del_listener() should ignore !valid listeners When send_cpu_listeners() finds the orphaned listener it marks it as !valid and drops listeners->sem. Before it takes this sem for writing, s->pid can be reused and add_del_listener() can wrongly try to re-use this entry. Change add_del_listener() to check ->valid = T.
