      minixfs: misplaced checks lead to dentry leak · d6042eac
      Al Viro authored
      bitmap size sanity checks should be done *before* allocating ->s_root;
      there their cleanup on failure would be correct.  As it is, we do iput()
      on root inode, but leak the root dentry...

      ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detach · 8a88951b
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this
      area.
      
      1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the
         stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is
         not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running
         thread which can initiate another group-stop.
      
         Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace).
      
      2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached
         and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
         but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr)
         in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches.
      
         Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report.
      
         Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from
         current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the
         possible similar problems.

      ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE race · 50b8d257
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      Test-case:
      
      	int main(void)
      	{
      		int pid, status;
      
      		pid = fork();
      		if (!pid) {
      			for (;;) {
      				if (!fork())
      					return 0;
      				if (waitpid(-1, &status, 0) < 0) {
      					printf("ERR!! wait: %m\n");
      					return 0;
      				}
      			}
      		}
      
      		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
      		assert(waitpid(-1, NULL, 0) == pid);
      
      		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0,
      					PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK) == 0);
      
      		do {
      			ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, 0);
      			pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0);
      		} while (pid > 0);
      
      		return 1;
      	}
      
      It fails because ->real_parent sees its child in EXIT_DEAD state
      while the tracer is going to change the state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE
      in wait_task_zombie().
      
      The offending commit is 823b018e which moved the EXIT_DEAD check,
      but in fact we should not blame it. The original code was not
      correct as well because it didn't take ptrace_reparented() into
      account and because we can't really trust ->ptrace.
      
      This patch adds the additional check to close this particular
      race but it doesn't solve the whole problem. We simply can't
      rely on ->ptrace in this case, it can be cleared if the tracer
      is multithreaded by the exiting ->parent.
      
      I think we should kill EXIT_DEAD altogether, we should always
      remove the soon-to-be-reaped child from ->children or at least
      we should never do the DEAD->ZOMBIE transition. But this is too
      complex for 3.2.
