From 4ada856fb0ee62f6fe3aac3de726deac0640d929 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 14:43:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] signals: clear signal->tty when the last thread exits When the last thread exits signal->tty is freed, but the pointer is not cleared and points to nowhere. This is OK. Nobody should use signal->tty lockless, and it is no longer possible to take ->siglock. However this looks wrong even if correct, and the nice OOPS is better than subtle and hard to find bugs. Change __exit_signal() to clear signal->tty under ->siglock. Note: __exit_signal() needs more cleanups. It should not check "sig != NULL" to detect the all-dead case and we have the same issues with signal->stats.
