Cough. I am going off-topic again, but I can't resist... On 08/25, Linus Torvalds wrote: > > Look at the code that creates the fd stat information, for example. > It's in tid_fd_revalidate(), and it really doesn't make much sense to > use the task credentials for it.
Or pid_revalidate(), but my concern is task_dumpable() logic. pid_revalidate() does inode->i_*id = GLOBAL_ROOT_*ID if task_dumpable() fails, but it can fail simply because ->mm = NULL. This means that almost everything in /proc/zombie-pid/ becomes root. Doesn't really hurt, but for what? Looks a bit strange imho.
