From b89a05b21f46150ac10a962aa50109250b56b03b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baptiste Lepers Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2021 11:53:10 +1000 Subject: events: Reuse value read using READ_ONCE instead of re-reading it In perf_event_addr_filters_apply, the task associated with the event (event->ctx->task) is read using READ_ONCE at the beginning of the function, checked, and then re-read from event->ctx->task, voiding all guarantees of the checks. Reuse the value that was read by READ_ONCE to ensure the consistency of the task struct throughout the function.
