Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix protection of mm_struct fields in get_cmdline()
Date: Wed, 15 May 2019 11:15:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <155790813764.2995.13706842444028749629.stgit@buzz> (raw)

Since commit 88aa7cc688d4 ("mm: introduce arg_lock to protect arg_start|
end and env_start|end in mm_struct") related mm fields are protected with
separate spinlock and mmap_sem held for read is not enough for protection.

Fixes: 88aa7cc688d4 ("mm: introduce arg_lock to protect arg_start|end and env_start|end in mm_struct")
