If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at the end of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check against __TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED. This causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent wakeup against TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list, corrupting it. Signed-off-by: Ben Segall --- v2: slight clarification in comments, put the conditional around the whole wakeup area Oleg mentioned a preference for making LISTEN unfreeze instead; I have no preference there, just wanted to make sure that this doesn't get forgotten entirely. kernel/ptrace.c | 14 ++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/ptrace.c b/kernel/ptrace.c index 0af928712174..7cc49c3e73af 100644 --- a/kernel/ptrace.c +++ b/kernel/ptrace.c @@ -184,11 +184,17 @@ static void ptrace_unfreeze_traced(struct task_struct *task) WARN_ON(!task->ptrace || task->parent != current); + /* + * PTRACE_LISTEN can allow ptrace_trap_notify to wake us up + * remotely.
