From: Kees Cook Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2024 21:08:31 +0000 (-0700) Subject: coredump: Do not lock during 'comm' reporting X-Git-Tag: v6.14-rc1~206^2~9 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=200f091c95bbc4b8660636bd345805c45d6eced7;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git coredump: Do not lock during 'comm' reporting The 'comm' member will always be NUL terminated, and this is not fast-path, so we can just perform a direct memcpy during a coredump instead of potentially deadlocking while holding the task struct lock.
