From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 06:27:24 +0000 (-0800) Subject: exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with kill X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1046 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ed5d2cac114202fe2978a9cbcab8f5032796d538;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-exynos.git exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with kill As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec. de_thread() sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then clears signal->flags. All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window (which is not too small) will be lost. With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(), the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress. It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.
