From 5f8aadd8b9966d71a77bba52b9d499cc2f38269f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:55:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] CLONE_PARENT shouldn't allow to set ->exit_signal The child must not control its ->exit_signal, it is the parent who decides which signal the child should use for notification. This means that CLONE_PARENT should not use "clone_flags & CSIGNAL", the forking task is the sibling of the new process and their parent doesn't control exit_signal in this case. This patch uses ->exit_signal of the forking process, but perhaps we should simply use SIGCHLD. We read group_leader->exit_signal lockless, this can race with the ORIGINAL_SIGNAL -> SIGCHLD transition, but this is fine. Potentially this change allows to kill self_exec_id/parent_exec_id.
