From a3a2e76c77fa22b114e421ac11dec0c56c3503fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 14:34:42 -0700 Subject: mm: avoid null-pointer deref in sync_mm_rss() - We weren't zeroing p->rss_stat[] at fork() - Consequently sync_mm_rss() was dereferencing tsk->mm for kernel threads and was oopsing. - Make __sync_task_rss_stat() static, too.
