6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a10a9233073d984b239e22358ba21825e27e2e88 ] The subjective cred (task->cred) can potentially be overridden and subsquently freed in non-RCU context, which could lead to a panic if we try to use it in cred_fscmp(). Use __task_cred(), which returns the objective cred (task->real_cred) instead.
