Kirill, I didn't really read this series so I don't quite understand what
are you actually trying to do...

__do_SAK() is racy anyway, a process can open tty right after it was checked,
and I do not understand why should we care about races with execve.

IOW, I do not understand why we can't simply use rcu_read_lock() after
do_each_pid_task/while_each_pid_task. Yes we can miss the new process/thread,
but if the creator process had this tty opened it should be killed by us so
fork/clone can't succeed: both do_fork() and send_sig() take the same lock
and do_fork() checks signal_pending() under ->siglock.

No?

And whatever we do, I think you are right and for_each_process() makes more
sense, and in the likely case all sub-threads should share the same file_struct.
So perhaps we should start with the simple cleanup? Say,

        for_each_process(p) {
                if (p->signal->tty == tty) {
                        tty_notice(tty, "SAK: killed process %d (%s): by 
controlling tty\n",
                                   task_pid_nr(p), p->comm);
                        goto kill;
                }

                files = NULL;
                for_each_thread(p, t) {
                                if (t->files == files) /* racy but we do not 
care */
                                        continue;

                                task_lock(t);
                                files = t->files;
                                i = iterate_fd(files, 0, this_tty, tty);
                                task_unlock(t);

                                if (i != 0) {
                                        tty_notice(tty, "SAK: killed process %d 
(%s): by fd#%d\n",
                                                   task_pid_nr(p), p->comm, i - 
1);
                                        goto kill;
                                }
                }

                continue;
kill:
                force_sig(SIGKILL, p);
        }

(see the uncompiled/untested patch below), then make another change to avoid
tasklist_lock?

Oleg.
