      [PATCH] sigfix-2.5.39-D0, BK-curr · 5b5a877d
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This fixes a procfs crash noticed by Anton Blanchard.
      
      The procfs code can have a reference even to an already exited task, so
      it needs to follow special rules accessing p->sig.  The atomic-signals
      patch made this bug happen at a much higher frequency, but procfs i
      believe was buggy ever since, it potentially used the freed signal
      structure - which just did not result in a crash like it does today.
      
      The proper fix is to take the tasklist read-lock in
      collect_sigign_sigcatch(), this excludes __exit_sighand() freeing the
      signal structure prematurely.
