[PATCH 1/2] drivers/hid: Eliminate a double lock
From: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> The path around the loop ends with the lock held, so the call to mutex_lock is moved before the beginning of the loop. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @locked@ expression E1; positio... 20 Jun 2010 08:02

[PATCH 2/2] arch/sh/mm: Eliminate a double lock
From: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> The function begins and ends with a read_lock. The latter is changed to a read_unlock.

[PATCH 4/6] pidns: Don't allow new pids after the namespace is dead.
In the case of unsharing or joining a pid namespace, it becomes possible to attempt to allocate a pid after zap_pid_namespace has killed everything in the namespace. Close the hole for now by simply not allowing any of those pid allocations to succeed. At least for now it is too strange to think about. Signe... 20 Jun 2010 04:50
