mm/mempolicy.c: add rcu read lock to protect pid structure
find_task_by_vpid() should be protected by rcu_read_lock(), to prevent free_pid() reclaiming pid. Signed-off-by: Zeng Zhaoming <zengzm.kernel@gmail.com> Cc: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
