From add0d4dfd660e9e4fd0af3eac3cad23583c9558f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2008 14:35:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong. Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4() doesn't see any child. But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait(). In that case the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper. Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent() uses reaper == NULL. Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead. We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not really matter. These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually. Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).
