Revision a98fdcef941e107eeabae622d85a1f476f25a160 authored by Oleg Nesterov on 14 January 2008, 21:02:37 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 14 January 2008, 21:23:00 UTC
Commit 84427eaef1fb91704c7112bdb598c810003b99f3 (remove task_ppid_nr_ns)
moved the task_tgid_nr_ns(task->real_parent) outside of lock_task_sighand().
This is wrong, ->real_parent could be freed/reused.

Both ->parent/real_parent point to nothing after __exit_signal() because
we remove the child from ->children list, and thus the child can't be
reparented when its parent exits.

rcu_read_lock() protects ->parent/real_parent, but _only_ if we know it was
valid before we take rcu lock.

Revert this part of the patch.
