The patch titled
Subject: pidns: fix vfork() after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
pidns-fix-vfork-after-unshareclone_newpid.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: pidns: fix vfork() after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)
8382fcac ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)")
nacks CLONE_VM if the forking process unshared pid_ns, this obviously
breaks vfork:
int main(void)
{
assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);
assert(vfork() >= 0);
_exit(0);
return 0;
}
fails without this patch.
Change this check to use CLONE_SIGHAND instead. This also forbids
CLONE_THREAD automatically, and this is what the comment implies.
We could probably even drop CLONE_SIGHAND and use CLONE_THREAD, but it
would be safer to not do this. The current check denies CLONE_SIGHAND
implicitely and there is no reason to change this.
Eric said "CLONE_SIGHAND is fine. CLONE_THREAD would be even better.
Having shared signal handling between two different pid namespaces is the
case that we are fundamentally guarding against."
