From e7b2c4069252732d52f1de6d1f7c82d99a156659 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2013 21:09:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fput: task_work_add() can fail if the caller has passed exit_task_work() fput() assumes that it can't be called after exit_task_work() but this is not true, for example free_ipc_ns()->shm_destroy() can do this. In this case fput() silently leaks the file. Change it to fallback to delayed_fput_work if task_work_add() fails. The patch looks complicated but it is not, it changes the code from if (PF_KTHREAD) { schedule_work(...); return; } task_work_add(...) to if (!PF_KTHREAD) { if (!task_work_add(...)) return; /* fallback */ } schedule_work(...); As for shm_destroy() in particular, we could make another fix but I think this change makes sense anyway. There could be another similar user, it is not safe to assume that task_work_add() can't fail.
