[PATCH] pidfs: detect refcount bugs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now that we have pidfs_{get,register}_pid() that needs to be paired with
pidfs_put_pid() it's possible that someone pairs them with put_pid().
Thus freeing struct pid while it's still used by pidfs. Notice when that
happens. I'll also add a scheme to detect invalid uses of
pidfs_get_pid() and pidfs_put_pid() later.
