------------------------------------------------------
Subject: proc: make task_sig() lockless
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Now that task->signal can't go away and collect_sigign_sigcatch() is
rcu-safe, task_sig() doesn't need ->siglock.
Remove lock_task_sighand() and unnecessary sigemptyset's, move
collect_sigign_sigcatch() under rcu_read_lock().
Of course, this means we read pending/blocked/etc nonatomically and we can
report this info in some intermediate state. Say, a signal can be
reported as both pending and ignored, or we can report ->sigpending != 0
while pending/shpending are empty, etc. Hopefully this is OK for proc, we
never promised this info should be atomic.
Probably we can change do_task_stat() to avoid ->siglock too, except we
can't get tty_nr lockless.
Also, remove the "is this correct?" comment. I think it is safe to
dereference __task_cred(p)->user under rcu lock. In any case, ->siglock
can't help to protect cred->user.
