    [PATCH] file: Add locking to f_getown · 43fa1adb
    Eric W. Biederman 提交于
    This has been needed for a long time, but now with the advent of a
    reference counted struct pid there are real consequences for getting this
    wrong.
    
    Someone I think it was Oleg Nesterov pointed out that this construct was
    missing locking, when I introduced struct pid.  After taking time to review
    the locking construct already present I figured out which lock needs to be
    taken.  The other paths that access f_owner.pid take either the f_owner
    read or the write lock.
