Subject: [PATCH] reject taskset for kernel threads
Do not allow taskset for kernel threads.
These commands will cause oopses due to stack corruption:
ls /proc/*/task | grep -v ^/ | xargs echo | xargs -n1 taskset -pc 2-9
taskset -pc 1 $$
taskset -pc 0 $((pidof john))
Possible fix in userland:
for i in ` ls /proc/*/task | grep -v ^/ `
do
e=/proc/*/task/$i/exe
if test -e $e
then
taskset -pc 2-9 $i
fi
done
