From df279ca8966c3de83105428e3391ab17690802a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Renaud Lottiaux Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:41:34 -0700 Subject: bsdacct: fix access to invalid filp in acct_on() The file opened in acct_on and freshly stored in the ns->bacct struct can be closed in acct_file_reopen by a concurrent call after we release acct_lock and before we call mntput(file->f_path.mnt). Record file->f_path.mnt in a local variable and use this variable only.
