Subject: [PATCH 2/6][v5] Protect init from unwanted signals more
Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2008 12:51:53 -0800	[thread overview]

Subject: [PATCH 2/6][v5] Protect init from unwanted signals more

(This is a modified version of the patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/18/249 and tries to address comments
that came up in that discussion)

init ignores the SIG_DFL signals but we queue them anyway, including
SIGKILL. This is mostly OK, the signal will be dropped silently when
dequeued, but the pending SIGKILL has 2 bad implications:

        - it implies fatal_signal_pending(), so we confuse things
          like wait_for_completion_killable/lock_page_killable.

        - for the sub-namespace inits, the pending SIGKILL can
          mask (legacy_queue) the subsequent SIGKILL from the
          parent namespace which must kill cinit reliably.
          (preparation, cinits don't have SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE yet)

The patch can't help when init is ptraced, but ptracing of init is
not "safe" anyway.

Changelog[v5]:
	- (Oleg Nesterov) Remove SIG_IGN check in sig_task_ignored()
	  and let sig_handler_ignored() check SIG_IGN.
