From b564daf806d492dd4f7afe9b6c83b8d35d137669 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:47:44 -0700 Subject: coredump: construct the list of coredumping threads at startup time binfmt->core_dump() has to iterate over the all threads in system in order to find the coredumping threads and construct the list using the GFP_ATOMIC allocations. With this patch each thread allocates the list node on exit_mm()'s stack and adds itself to the list. This allows us to do further changes: - simplify ->core_dump() - change exit_mm() to clear ->mm first, then wait for ->core_done. this makes the coredumping process visible to oom_kill - kill mm->core_done Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Roland McGrath Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/exec.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'fs') diff --git a/fs/exec.c b/fs/exec.c index b8ee842d93cd..fe2873b8037f 100644 --- a/fs/exec.c +++ b/fs/exec.c @@ -1604,6 +1604,8 @@ static int coredump_wait(int exit_code, struct core_state *core_state) init_completion(&mm->core_done); init_completion(&core_state->startup); + core_state->dumper.task = tsk; + core_state->dumper.next = NULL; core_waiters = zap_threads(tsk, mm, core_state, exit_code); up_write(&mm->mmap_sem); -- cgit v1.2.2
