commit 18f649ef34 upstream.
The PF_EXITING check in task_wants_autogroup() is no longer needed. Remove
it, but see the next patch.
However the comment is correct in that autogroup_move_group() must always
change task_group() for every thread so the sysctl_ check is very wrong;
we can race with cgroups and even sys_setsid() is not safe because a task
running with task_group() == ag->tg must participate in refcounting:
int main(void)
{
int sctl = open("/proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled", O_WRONLY);
assert(sctl > 0);
if (fork()) {
wait(NULL); // destroy the child's ag/tg
pause();
}
assert(pwrite(sctl, "1\n", 2, 0) == 2);
assert(setsid() > 0);
if (fork())
pause();
kill(getppid(), SIGKILL);
sleep(1);
// The child has gone, the grandchild runs with kref == 1
assert(pwrite(sctl, "0\n", 2, 0) == 2);
assert(setsid() > 0);
// runs with the freed ag/tg
for (;;)
sleep(1);
return 0;
}
crashes the kernel. It doesn't really need sleep(1), it doesn't matter if
autogroup_move_group() actually frees the task_group or this happens later.
