description: The commit commit 5cb350baf580017da38199625b7365b1763d7180 Author: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Mon Oct 15 17:00:14 2007 +0200 sched: group scheduling, sysfs tunables introduced the uids_mutex and the helpers to lock/unlock it. Unfortunately, the error paths of alloc_uid() were not patched to unlock it.
