Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 19:08:44 +0200 From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>, Roland McGrath <roland@...k.frob.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 1/1] exec: make de_thread() killable Change de_thread() to use KILLABLE rather than UNINTERRUPTIBLE while waiting for other threads. The only complication is that we should clear ->group_exit_task and ->notify_count before we return, and we should do this under tasklist_lock. -EAGAIN is used to match the initial signal_group_exit() check/return, it doesn't really matter. This fixes the (unlikely) race with coredump. de_thread() checks signal_group_exit() before it starts to kill the subthreads, but this can't help if another CLONE_VM (but non CLONE_THREAD) task starts the coredumping after de_thread() unlocks ->siglock. In this case the killed sub-thread can block in exit_mm() waiting for coredump_finish(), execing thread waits for that sub-thead, and execing thread waits for execing thread. Deadlock.
