From 11cad320a4f4bc53d3585c85600c782faa12b99e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitaliy Gusev Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 14:06:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bsdacct: use del_timer_sync() in acct_exit_ns() acct_exit_ns --> acct_file_reopen deletes timer without check timer execution on other CPUs. So acct_timeout() can change an unmapped memory.
