If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Andrey Vagin commit 45e0fffc8a7778282e6a1514a6ae3e7ae6545111 upstream. Move CLOCK_DISPATCH(which_clock, timer_create, (new_timer)) after all posible EFAULT erros. *_timer_create may allocate/get resources. (for example posix_cpu_timer_create does get_task_struct) [ tglx: fold the remove crappy comment patch into this ] Signed-off-by: Andrey Vagin Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Pavel Emelyanov Reviewed-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- a/kernel/posix-timers.c +++ b/kernel/posix-timers.c @@ -559,14 +559,7 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE3(timer_create, const clockid_t, which_clock, new_timer->it_id = (timer_t) new_timer_id; new_timer->it_clock = which_clock; new_timer->it_overrun = -1; - error = CLOCK_DISPATCH(which_clock, timer_create, (new_timer)); - if (error) - goto out; - /* - * return the timer_id now.
