latencytop: fix kernel panic while reading latency proc file
Reading /proc/<pid>/latency or /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/latency could cause NULL pointer dereference. In lstats_open(), get_proc_task() can return NULL, in which case the kernel will oops at lstats_show_proc() because m->private is NULL. When get_proc_task() returns NULL, the kernel should return -ENOENT. This can be reproduced by the following script. while : do date bash -c 'ls > ls.$$' & pid=$! cat /proc/$pid/latency & cat /proc/$pid/latency & cat /proc/$pid/latency & cat /proc/$pid/latency done Signed-off-by: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
