From 5c99cbf49a6e1a1efd25b11f4604c65c455e1612 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 13:44:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] coredump: set ->group_exit_code for other CLONE_VM tasks too User visible change. do_coredump() kills all threads which share the same ->mm but only the coredumping process gets the proper exit_code. Other tasks which share the same ->mm die "silently" and return status == 0 to parent. This is historical behaviour, not actually a bug. But I think Frank Heckenbach rightly dislikes the current behaviour. Simple test-case: #include #include #include #include int main(void) { int stat; if (!fork()) { if (!vfork()) kill(getpid(), SIGQUIT); } wait(&stat); printf("stat=%x\n", stat); return 0; } Before this patch it prints "stat=0" despite the fact the child was killed by SIGQUIT. After this patch the output is "stat=3" which obviously makes more sense. Even with this patch, only the task which originates the coredumping gets "|= 0x80" if the core was actually dumped, but at least the coredumping signal is visible to do_wait/etc. Reported-by: Frank Heckenbach Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: WANG Cong Cc: Roland McGrath Cc: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/exec.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/exec.c b/fs/exec.c index 89d4080..829a6c6 100644 --- a/fs/exec.c +++ b/fs/exec.c @@ -1561,12 +1561,13 @@ out: return ispipe; } -static int zap_process(struct task_struct *start) +static int zap_process(struct task_struct *start, int exit_code) { struct task_struct *t; int nr = 0; start->signal->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT; + start->signal->group_exit_code = exit_code; start->signal->group_stop_count = 0; t = start; @@ -1591,8 +1592,7 @@ static inline int zap_threads(struct task_struct *tsk, struct mm_struct *mm, spin_lock_irq(&tsk->sighand->siglock); if (!signal_group_exit(tsk->signal)) { mm->core_state = core_state; - tsk->signal->group_exit_code = exit_code; - nr = zap_process(tsk); + nr = zap_process(tsk, exit_code); } spin_unlock_irq(&tsk->sighand->siglock); if (unlikely(nr < 0)) @@ -1641,7 +1641,7 @@ static inline int zap_threads(struct task_struct *tsk, struct mm_struct *mm, if (p->mm) { if (unlikely(p->mm == mm)) { lock_task_sighand(p, &flags); - nr += zap_process(p); + nr += zap_process(p, exit_code); unlock_task_sighand(p, &flags); } break; -- 1.8.2.3
