[PATCH 0/3] vhost: Fix freezer/ps regressions

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

 



The following patches made over Linus's tree fix the 2 bugs:

1. vhost worker task shows up as a process forked from the parent
that did VHOST_SET_OWNER ioctl instead of a process under root/kthreadd.
This was causing breaking scripts.
2. vhost_tasks didn't disable or add support for freeze requests.

The following patches fix these issues by making the vhost_task task
a thread under the process that did the VHOST_SET_OWNER and uses
get_signal() to handle freeze and SIGSTOP/KILL signals which is required
when using CLONE_THREAD (really CLONE_THREAD requires CLONE_SIGHAND
which requires SIGKILL/STOP to be supported).
