Subject: [PATCH urgent 2/2] x86/vm86: Set thread.vm86 to NULL on fork/clone
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 22:42:46 -0700
Message-ID: <71c5d6985d70ec8197c8d72f003823c81b7dcf99.1446270067.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1446270067.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1446270067.git.luto@kernel.org>
thread.vm86 points to per-task information -- the pointer should not
be copied on clone.
Fixes: d4ce0f26c790 ("x86/vm86: Move fields from 'struct kernel_vm86_struct' to 'struct vm86'")
