Calling fd_install() makes a file reachable for userland, including the
possibility to close the file descriptor, which leads to calling its
'release' hook. If that happens before the code had a chance to bump the
reference of the newly created task struct, the release callback will
call put_task_struct() too early, leading to the premature destruction
of the kernel thread.
Avoid that race by calling fd_install() later, after all the setup is
done.

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.
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.
