The patch titled
exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with kill
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
exec-rework-the-group-exit-and-fix-the-race-with-kill.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with kill
From: Oleg Nesterov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec. de_thread()
sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then
clears signal->flags. All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window
(which is not too small) will be lost.
With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(),
the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress.
It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.
