Subject[PATCH] mm: fix protection of mm_struct fields in get_cmdline()
From
Date
Since commit 88aa7cc688d4 ("mm: introduce arg_lock to protect arg_start|
end and env_start|end in mm_struct") related mm fields are protected with
separate spinlock and mmap_sem held for read is not enough for protection.

Fixes: 88aa7cc688d4 ("mm: introduce arg_lock to protect arg_start|end and env_start|end in mm_struct")
