From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 21:34:42 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm: avoid null-pointer deref in sync_mm_rss() X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-5.2.0-15.16~25471 X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a3a2e76c77fa22b114e421ac11dec0c56c3503fb;p=mirror_ubuntu-eoan-kernel.git mm: avoid null-pointer deref in sync_mm_rss() - We weren't zeroing p->rss_stat[] at fork() - Consequently sync_mm_rss() was dereferencing tsk->mm for kernel threads and was oopsing. - Make __sync_task_rss_stat() static, too.
