[PATCH 07/10] Staging: android: task_get_unused_fd_flags: fix the wrong usage of tsk->signal

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jan 28 2009 - 18:31:41 EST


From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

Compile tested.

task_struct->signal is not protected by RCU, the code is bogus.
Change the code to take ->siglock to pin ->signal.
