From b3bfa0cba867f23365b81658b47efd906830879b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 16:58:08 -0700 Subject: signals: protect cinit from blocked fatal signals Normally SIG_DFL signals to global and container-init are dropped early. But if a signal is blocked when it is posted, we cannot drop the signal since the receiver may install a handler before unblocking the signal. Once this signal is queued however, the receiver container-init has no way of knowing if the signal was sent from an ancestor or descendant namespace. This patch ensures that contianer-init drops all SIG_DFL signals in get_signal_to_deliver() except SIGKILL/SIGSTOP. If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from a descendant of container-init they are never queued (i.e dropped in sig_ignored() in an earler patch). If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from parent namespace, the signal is queued and container-init processes the signal. IOW, if get_signal_to_deliver() sees a sig_kernel_only() signal for global or container-init, the signal must have been generated internally or must have come from an ancestor ns and we process the signal. Further, the signal_group_exit() check was needed to cover the case of a multi-threaded init sending SIGKILL to other threads when doing an exit() or exec(). But since the new sig_kernel_only() check covers the SIGKILL, the signal_group_exit() check is no longer needed and can be removed. Finally, now that we have all pieces in place, set SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE for container-inits. Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Roland McGrath Cc: "Eric W.
