Did you manage to narrow it down to which of the dereference this
corresponds to? Is it tsk->signal == NULL or signal->oom_mm == NULL.
The faulting address doesn't match neither with my configs.

OK, was there any non-standard code running during this test?
In any case I do not see how this patch could be correct. If, for some
reason we managed to release the signal structure or something else then
we need to understand whether this is a locking or reference counting
issue. I do not really see how this would be possible. But this check
right here doesn't really make sense.

Andrew please drop the patch from your tree.
