From cb361d8cdef69990f6b4504dc1fd9a594d983c97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2019 17:20:47 +0200 Subject: sched/fair: Use RCU accessors consistently for ->numa_group The old code used RCU annotations and accessors inconsistently for ->numa_group, which can lead to use-after-frees and NULL dereferences. Let all accesses to ->numa_group use proper RCU helpers to prevent such issues.
