This is wrong, we should do this only when the whole process exits. 2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong. Use ->group_leader instead. Test case: void hup(int sig) { printf("HUP received\n"); } void *tfunc(void *arg) { sleep(2); printf("sub-thread exited\n"); return NULL; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (!fork()) { signal(SIGHUP, hup); kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); exit(0); } pthread_t thr; pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL); sleep(1); printf("main thread exited\n"); syscall(__NR_exit, 0); return 0; } output: main thread exited HUP received Hangup With this patch the output is: main thread exited sub-thread exited HUP received Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/exit.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -puN kernel/exit.c~exit_notify-fix-kill_orphaned_pgrp-usage-with-mt-exit kernel/exit.c --- a/kernel/exit.c~exit_notify-fix-kill_orphaned_pgrp-usage-with-mt-exit +++ a/kernel/exit.c @@ -750,7 +750,7 @@ static void forget_original_parent(struc * Send signals to all our closest relatives so that they know * to properly mourn us.. */ -static void exit_notify(struct task_struct *tsk) +static void exit_notify(struct task_struct *tsk, int group_dead) { int state; @@ -766,7 +766,8 @@ static void exit_notify(struct task_stru exit_task_namespaces(tsk); write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock); - kill_orphaned_pgrp(tsk, NULL); + if (group_dead) + kill_orphaned_pgrp(tsk->group_leader, NULL); /* Let father know we died * @@ -981,7 +982,7 @@ NORET_TYPE void do_exit(long code) module_put(tsk->binfmt->module); proc_exit_connector(tsk); - exit_notify(tsk); + exit_notify(tsk, group_dead); #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA mpol_free(tsk->mempolicy); tsk->mempolicy = NULL; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from oleg@xxxxxxxxxx are git-hrt.patch kthread-call-wake_up_process-without-the-lock-being-held.patch documentation-atomic_add_unless-doesnt-imply-mb-on-failure-fix.patch mmap_region-cleanup-the-final-vma_merge-related-code.patch remove-unused-variable-from-send_signal.patch turn-legacy_queue-macro-into-static-inline-function.patch consolidate-checking-for-ignored-legacy-signals.patch consolidate-checking-for-ignored-legacy-signals-simplify.patch signals-do_signal_stop-use-signal_group_exit.patch signals-do_group_exit-use-signal_group_exit-more-consistently.patch lock_task_sighand-add-rcu-lock-unlock.patch k_getrusage-dont-take-rcu_read_lock.patch do_task_stat-dont-take-rcu_read_lock.patch signals-consolidate-checks-for-whether-or-not-to-ignore-a-signal.patch signals-clean-dequeue_signal-from-excess-checks-and-assignments.patch signals-consolidate-send_sigqueue-and-send_group_sigqueue.patch signals-cleanup-security_task_kill-usage-implementation.patch introduce-kill_orphaned_pgrp-helper.patch will_become_orphaned_pgrp-partially-fix-insufficient-exit_state-check.patch exit_notify-fix-kill_orphaned_pgrp-usage-with-mt-exit.patch ptrace-introduce-task_detached-helper.patch ptrace-introduce-ptrace_reparented-helper.patch reparent_thread-use-same_thread_group.patch document-de_thread-with-exit_notify-connection.patch workqueues-shrink-cpu_populated_map-when-cpu-dies.patch workqueues-shrink-cpu_populated_map-when-cpu-dies-fix.patch cleanup_workqueue_thread-remove-the-unneeded-cpu-parameter.patch simplify-cpu_hotplug_begin-put_online_cpus.patch redo-locking-of-tty-pgrp.patch resume-tty-on-susp-and-fix-crnl-order-in-n_tty-line-discipline.patch procfs-task-exe-symlink.patch procfs-task-exe-symlink-fix.patch procfs-task-exe-symlink-fix-2.patch free_pidmap-turn-it-into-free_pidmapstruct-upid.patch put_pid-make-sure-we-dont-free-the-live-pid.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
