Subject[PATCH] sched/core: Fix a potential double fetch bug on attr->size
Date
From: Meng Xu <mengxu.gatech@gmail.com>

`attr->size` after the second fetch `copy_from_user(attr, uattr, size)`,
can be different from what is initially fetched in and checked
`get_user(size, &uattr->size)` by racing condition in the userspace.

The issue and the patch are both similar to commit f12f42a
(in kernel/events/core.c).
