From 63f43f55c9bbc14f76b582644019b8a07dc8219a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:08:01 +0800 Subject: cpuset: fix cpuset_print_task_mems_allowed() vs rename() race rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold a longer name. It's safe in the protection of dentry->d_lock. v2: check NULL dentry before acquiring dentry lock.
