From d23082257d83e4bc89727d5aedee197e907999d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 17:45:05 +0200 Subject: pid_namespace: pidns_get() should check task_active_pid_ns() != NULL pidns_get()->get_pid_ns() can hit ns == NULL. This task_struct can't go away, but task_active_pid_ns(task) is NULL if release_task(task) was already called. Alternatively we could change get_pid_ns(ns) to check ns != NULL, but it seems that other callers are fine. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Eric W.
