From ee77f075921730b2b465880f9fd4367003bdab39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 20:12:38 +0200 Subject: signal: Turn SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED into GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED This patch moves SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED from signal_struct->flags to task_struct->group_stop, and thus makes it per-thread. Like SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can be false-positive after return from get_signal_to_deliver(), this is fine. The only purpose of this bit is: we can drop ->siglock after __dequeue_signal() returns the sig_kernel_stop() signal and before we call do_signal_stop(), in this case we must not miss SIGCONT if it comes in between. But, unlike SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can not be false-positive in do_signal_stop() if multiple threads dequeue the sig_kernel_stop() signal at the same time. Consider two threads T1 and T2, SIGTTIN has a hanlder. - T1 dequeues SIGTSTP and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, then it drops ->siglock - SIGCONT comes and clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, SIGTSTP should be cancelled. - T2 dequeues SIGTTIN and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED again. Since we have a handler we should not stop, T2 returns to usermode to run the handler. - T1 continues, calls do_signal_stop() and wrongly starts the group stop because SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED was restored in between. With or without this change: - we need to do something with ptrace_signal() which can return SIGSTOP, but this needs another discussion - SIGSTOP can be lost if it races with the mt exec, will be fixed later.
