4Subject: ptrace: restore smp_rmb() in __ptrace_may_access()
5
6From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>
7
8commit f6581f5b55141a95657ef5742cf6a6bfa20a109f upstream.
9
10Restore the read memory barrier in __ptrace_may_access() that was deleted
11a couple years ago. Also add comments on this barrier and the one it pairs
12with to explain why they're there (as far as I understand).
13
14Fixes: bfedb589252c ("mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checks")
