From 86f162f4c75ceb6daf43165469eeeca1bc3d4639 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:37:04 +0100 Subject: rlimits: do security check under task_lock Do security_task_setrlimit under task_lock. Other tasks may change limits under our hands while we are checking limits inside the function. From now on, they can't. Note that all the security work is done under a spinlock here now. Security hooks count with that, they are called from interrupt context (like security_task_kill) and with spinlocks already held (e.g. capable->security_capable).
