[PATCH] proc: Close the race of a process dying durning lookup
...
proc_lookup and task exiting are not synchronized, although some of the
previous code may have suggested that. Every time before we reuse a dentry
namei.c calls d_op->derevalidate which prevents us from reusing a stale dcache
entry. Unfortunately it does not prevent us from returning a stale dcache
entry. This race has been explicitly plugged in proc_pid_lookup but there is
nothing to confine it to just that proc lookup function.
So to prevent the race I call revalidate explictily in all of the proc lookup
functions after I call d_add, and report an error if the revalidate does not
succeed.
Years ago Al Viro did something similar but those changes got lost in the
churn.
