From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:47:36 +0000 (-0700) Subject: ptrace: give more respect to SIGKILL X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~350 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=364d3c13c17f45da6d638011078d4c4d3070d719;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git ptrace: give more respect to SIGKILL ptrace_stop() has some complicated checks to prevent the scheduling in the TASK_TRACED state with the pending SIGKILL, but these checks are racy, and they depend on arch_ptrace_stop_needed(). This patch assumes that the traced task should die asap if it was killed by SIGKILL, in that case schedule()->signal_pending_state() has no reason to ignore the TASK_WAKEKILL part of TASK_TRACED, and we can kill this nasty special case. Note: do_exit()->ptrace_notify() is special, the killed task can already dequeue SIGKILL at this point. Another indication that fatal_signal_pending() is not exactly right.
