From eca1a08986f622c11b75b3b44d561a1f901c9cec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:41:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] signal: Exit RCU read-side critical section on each pass through loop The kill_pid_info() can potentially loop indefinitely if tasks are created and deleted sufficiently quickly, and if this happens, this function will remain in a single RCU read-side critical section indefinitely. This commit therefore exits the RCU read-side critical section on each pass through the loop. Because a race must happen to retry the loop, this should have no performance impact in the common case.
