From 5fa534c987784c4811757a34c425aff3ce3b5037 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 16:32:31 -0800 Subject: coredump: ensure all coredumping tasks have SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set. change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL. Fortunately, at least oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it should also kill the process which actually dumps the core. The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.
