Quoted from Linus [0]: selinux never wanted a lock, and never wanted any kind of *consistent* result, it just wanted a *stable* result. Using get_task_comm() to read the task comm ensures that the name is always NUL-terminated, regardless of the source string. This approach also facilitates future extensions to the task comm.
