Subject: selinux: selinux_setprocattr()->ptrace_parent() needs rcu_read_lock()
X-Git-Url: http://git.mmlx.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2b25925431bfedfbd1b234afcadbcdf4f09901f8;p=linux-edison.git

selinux: selinux_setprocattr()->ptrace_parent() needs rcu_read_lock()

commit c0c1439541f5305b57a83d599af32b74182933fe upstream.

selinux_setprocattr() does ptrace_parent(p) under task_lock(p),
but task_struct->alloc_lock doesn't pin ->parent or ->ptrace,
this looks confusing and triggers the "suspicious RCU usage"
warning because ptrace_parent() does rcu_dereference_check().

And in theory this is wrong, spin_lock()->preempt_disable()
doesn't necessarily imply rcu_read_lock() we need to access
the ->parent.
