* [PATCH] process accounting: take original leader's start_time in non-leader execRoland McGrath2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only record we have of the real-time age of a process, regardless of execs it's done, is start_time. When a non-leader thread exec, the original start_time of the process is lost. Things looking at the real-time age of the process are fooled, for example the process accounting record when the process finally dies. This change makes the oldest start_time stick around with the process after a non-leader exec. This way the association between PID and start_time is kept constant, which seems correct to me.

* [PATCH] uniform POLLRDHUP handling between epoll and poll/selectDavide Libenzi2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | As reported by Michael Kerrisk, POLLRDHUP handling was not consistent between epoll and poll/select, since in epoll it was unmaskeable.

* [PATCH] select: don't overflow if (SELECT_STACK_ALLOC % sizeof(long) != 0)Mitchell Blank Jr2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is not a multiple of sizeof(long) then stack_fds[] would be shorter than SELECT_STACK_ALLOC bytes and could overflow later in the function. Fixed by simply rearranging the test later to work on sizeof(stack_fds) Currently SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is 256 so this doesn't happen, but it's nasty to have things like this hidden in the code. What if later someone decides to change SELECT_STACK_ALLOC to 300?

* | [PATCH] de_thread: Don't confuse users do_each_thread.Eric W. Biederman2006-04-10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oleg Nesterov spotted two interesting bugs with the current de_thread code. The simplest is a long standing double decrement of __get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process. Caused by two processes exiting when only one was created. The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to see the same task_struct twice. Once on the task list as a thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another thread. The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in coredump_wait. To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread. The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process, and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a thread group leader properly. Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process and instead shares it with the new leader process. I change thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the group_leader field and not based on pids. This should also be slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro. I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of thread_group_leader that cared about the difference. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to Andrew for the good explanation of why this is so. akpm writes: If a page is under writeback and we remove it from pagecache, it's still going to get written to disk. But the VFS no longer knows about that page, nor that this page is about to modify disk blocks. So there might be scenarios in which those blocks-which-are-about-to-be-written-to get reused for something else. When writeback completes, it'll scribble on those blocks. This won't happen in ext2/ext3-style filesystems in normal mode because the page has buffers and try_to_release_page() will fail. But ext2 in nobh mode doesn't attach buffers at all - it just sticks the page in a BIO, finds some new blocks, points the BIO at those blocks and lets it rip. While that write IO's in flight, someone could truncate the file. Truncate won't block on the writeout because the page isn't in pagecache any more. So truncate will the free the blocks from the file under the page's feet. Then something else can reallocate those blocks. Then write data to them. Now, the original write completes, corrupting the filesystem. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
