[PATCH 2/5] pidfd: add pidfd_wait()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This adds the pidfd_wait() syscall.

One of the last remaining bits for the pidfd api is to make it possible
to wait on pidfds. With this syscall implemented parts of userspace that
want to use this api can finally switch to managing processes completely
through pidfds if they so desire (cf. [1]).

The pidfd_wait() syscall does not allow scoping of the process
identified by the pidfd, i.e. it explicitly does not try to mirror the
behavior of: wait4(-1), wait4(0), waitid(P_ALL), waitid(P_PGID) etc. It
only allows for semantics equivalent to wait4(pid), waitid(P_PID). Users
that need scoping should rely on pid-based wait*() syscalls for now.

pidfd_wait() allows to specify which changes to wait for. The states to
wait for can be or-ed and are specified in the states argument:
	WEXITED		Wait for children that have terminated.
	WSTOPPED	Wait for children that have been stopped by
			delivery of a signal.
	WCONTINUED	Wait for (previously stopped) children that have
			been resumed by delivery of SIGCONT.
	WUNTRACED	Return if a child has stopped.

The behavior of pidfd_wait() can be further modified by specifying the
following or-able options in the flags argument:
	__WCLONE	Only wait for a process that delivers no signal
			or a different signal than SIGCHLD to the parent
			on termination.
	__WALL		Wait for all children indepedent of whether or
			not they deliver no signal or another signal
			than SIGCHLD to the parent on termination.
			parent
	__WNOTHREAD	Do not wait for children of other threads in the
			same thread-group.
	WNOHANG		Return immediately if no child has exited.
	WNOWAIT		Leave the child in a waitable state.

pidfd_wait() takes an additional siginfo_t argument. If it is non-NULL,
pidfd_wait() will fill in si_pid, si_uid, si_signo, si_status, and
si_code. The si_code field will be set to one of CLD_EXITED, CLD_KILLED,
CLD_DUMPED, CLD_STOPPED, CLD_TRAPPED, or CLD_CONTINUED.
Information about resource usage of the process in question is returned
in the struct rusage argument of pidfd_wait().

On success, pidfd_wait() will return the pid of the process the pidfd
referred to. On failure, a negative error code will be returned.

/* Prior approach */
The first implementation was based on a flag WPIDFD which got added to
the wait*() system calls. However, that involved passing the pidfd
through the pid_t pid argument and do in-kernel type switching based on
the flag which feels like a really unclean solution and overall like a
mishmash of two apis. This is something we luckily have avoided so far
and I think we're better off in the long run if we keep it that way.
