Re: [PATCH] Change task_struct->comm to use RCU.

[Tetsuo Handa]

And the same phrase goes to James Morris...

If you are sure that it is safe to use get_task_comm() from
dump_common_audit_data() and you prefer locked version, please pick up below
patch via your git tree.

If you are unsure or prefer lockless version, I'll make a lockless version
using do_get_task_comm() proposed in this thread.

Subject: [PATCH] LSM: Pass comm name via get_task_comm()

When we pass task->comm to audit_log_untrustedstring(), we need to pass
a snapshot of it using get_task_comm(). Otherwise, we will lose fields
after comm= if we raced with updating task->comm.
