SubjectRe: [PATCH 5/6] core: allow setrlimit to non-current tasks
Sorry, can't read these series today. Will try tomorrow.

But at first glance some parts looks suspicious to me,

Why _irq? We can take tasklist_lock for reading without disabling irqs.

And. Unless I misread the patch, update_rlimit_cpu() is called before
read_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock), but update_rlimit_cpu() does
spin_unlock_irq(->siglock) and restores interrupts.

Please don't check !tsk->signal, !tsk->sighand is enough. If
we have ->sighand != NULL (under lock) ->signal must be valid.

But I dislike the fact the patch uses tasklist_lock. Can't
lock_task_sighand() work for you? (of course, in this case
update_rlimit_cpu() should be updated too).

Once again, I didn't actually read this series yet, sorry.

Oleg.
