[PATCH] cred: Use RCU primitives to access RCU pointers
From: Amol Grover
Date: Tue Jan 28 2020 - 02:28:56 EST
task_struct.cred and task_struct.real_cred are annotated by __rcu,
hence use rcu_access_pointer to access them.
Fixes the following sparse errors:
kernel/cred.c:144:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
(different address spaces):
kernel/cred.c:144:9: struct cred *
kernel/cred.c:144:9: struct cred const [noderef] <asn:4> *
kernel/cred.c:145:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
(different address spaces):
kernel/cred.c:145:9: struct cred *
kernel/cred.c:145:9: struct cred const [noderef] <asn:4> *
