[PATCH] proc fs task name locking fix
Races have been observed between excec-time overwriting of task->comm and /proc accesses to the same data. This causes environment string information to appear in /proc. Fix that up by taking task_lock() around updates to and accesses to task->comm. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
