[PATCH RT 4/6] ptrace: fix ptrace_unfreeze_traced() race with rt-lock

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Nov 06 2020 - 21:07:49 EST


5.4.74-rt42-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

The patch "ptrace: fix ptrace vs tasklist_lock race" changed
ptrace_freeze_traced() to take task->saved_state into account, but
ptrace_unfreeze_traced() has the same problem and needs a similar fix:
it should check/update both ->state and ->saved_state.
