Via which tree should these patches go? ---------------------------------------- >From 48c1b457eb32d7a029e9a078ee0a67974ada9261 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2015 20:49:17 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] android, lmk: Protect task->comm with task_lock. Passing task->comm to printk() wants task_lock() protection in order to avoid potentially emitting garbage bytes.
