This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sched: Use dl_bw_of() under RCU read lock to the 3.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: sched-use-dl_bw_of-under-rcu-read-lock.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 66339c31bc3978d5fff9c4b4cb590a861def4db2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 22:36:24 +0400 Subject: sched: Use dl_bw_of() under RCU read lock From: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 66339c31bc3978d5fff9c4b4cb590a861def4db2 upstream. dl_bw_of() dereferences rq->rd which has to have RCU read lock held. Probability of use-after-free isn't zero here. Also add lockdep assert into dl_bw_cpus().
