What will happen if CRIU dies and clears ->ptrace right before syscall_user_dispatch() checks PT_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH ? How the tracee will react to SIGSYS with unexpected .si_syscall ? > I don't expect that > the syscall user dispatch > is used by many applications, Agreed, so the case when CRIU will need to do the additional PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH_CONFIG twice to disable and then re-enable syscall_user_dispatch is unlikely. > so I don't strongly insist on > PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH. I too won't argue too much. but so far I do not feel there is enough justification for this feature ... Oleg.
