H A D | yama_lsm.c | 7612bfee Wed Aug 15 13:41:55 CDT 2012 Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Yama: access task_struct->comm directly
The core ptrace access checking routine holds a task lock, and when reporting a failure, Yama takes a separate task lock. To avoid a potential deadlock with two ptracers taking the opposite locks, do not use get_task_comm() and just use ->comm directly since accuracy is not important for the report.
