There's an protected access to the parent process's credentials in the middle of keyctl_session_to_parent(). This results in the following RCU warning: =================================================== [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ] --------------------------------------------------- security/keys/keyctl.c:1291 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 1 lock held by keyctl-session-/2137: #0: (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff811ae2ec>] keyctl_session_to_parent+0x60/0x236 stack backtrace: Pid: 2137, comm: keyctl-session- Not tainted 2.6.36-rc2-cachefs+ #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8105606a>] lockdep_rcu_dereference+0xaa/0xb3 [<ffffffff811ae379>] keyctl_session_to_parent+0xed/0x236 [<ffffffff811af77e>] sys_keyctl+0xb4/0xb6 [<ffffffff81001eab>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The code should take the RCU read lock to make sure the parents credentials don't go away, even though it's holding a spinlock and has IRQ disabled.
