Description Stephen P. Smith 2020-06-16 11:49:34 MST 
+++ This PCR was initially created as a clone of PCR #12668 +++

If the quota parent process is deleted between when MemoryObject::ConceptualObjectDestructor() exits the critical after calling quotaParentListNode.removeFromList() AND when MemoryObject::deallocate() returns the MO quota to the parent, THEN the MO quota could be returned to a deleted process and be lost or could be returned to the wrong process.

This race condition exists on Memory Objects and not other KIOs because Memory objects are the only KIOs that can be deleted by a thread that is not in the quota parent process. Note: A thread not in a process' quota parent process can use deleteProcess() to initiate process deletion but the main thread in the deleted process actually performs the deletion.
