Code checks if write is done by current to its own attributes. For that get/put pair is unnecessary as it can be done under RCU. Note: rcu_read_unlock() can be done even earlier since pointer to a task is not dereferenced. It depends if /proc code should look scary or not: rcu_read_lock(); task = pid_task(...); rcu_read_unlock(); if (!task) return -ESRCH; if (task != current) return -EACCESS: P.S.: rename "length" variable. Code like this length = -EINVAL; should not exist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
