If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Danilo Krummrich commit a0b0d1c345d0317efe594df268feb5ccc99f651e upstream. proc_sys_link_fill_cache() does not take currently unregistering sysctl tables into account, which might result into a page fault in sysctl_follow_link() - add a check to fix it. This bug has been present since v3.4.
