The current posix-cpu-timer code uses pids when holding persistent
references in timers. However the lookups from clock_id_t still return
tasks that need to be converted into pids for use.
This results in usage being pid->task->pid and that can race with
release_task and de_thread. This can lead to some not wrong but
surprising results. Surprising enough that Oleg and I both thought
there were some bugs in the code for a while.
This set of changes modifies the code to just lookup, verify, and return
pids from the clockid_t lookups to remove those potentialy troublesome
races.
Eric W. Biederman (3):
posix-cpu-timers: Extend rcu_read_lock removing task_struct references
posix-cpu-timers: Replace cpu_timer_pid_type with clock_pid_type
posix-cpu-timers: Replace __get_task_for_clock with pid_for_clock

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
