oom: fix possible oom_dump_tasks NULL pointer
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When /proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_tasks is enabled, it is possible to get a NULL
pointer for tasks that have detached mm's since task_lock() is not held
during the tasklist scan.  Add the task_lock().
