Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pid_ns: refactor the buggy pid_ns_release_proc() logic
Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2010 20:06:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100620180637.GD17120@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100620180530.GB17120@redhat.com>

pid_namespace holds ns->proc_mnt, while this vfsmount has a referene to
the namespace via PROC_I(sb->s_root->d_inode)->pid. To break this circle
/sbin/init does mntput() in pid_ns_release_proc(). See 6f4e6433.

But we have the following problems:

	- Nobody does mntput() if copy_process() fails after
	  pid_ns_prepare_proc().

	- proc_flush_task() checks upid->nr == 1 to verify we are init,
	  this is wrong if a multi-threaded init does exec.

	- As Louis pointed out, this namespace can have the detached
	  EXIT_DEAD tasks which can use ns->proc_mnt after this mntput().

With this patch only pid_namespace has a reference to ns->proc_mnt, and
mntput(ns->proc_mnt) is called by destroy_pid_namespace() paths when we
know that this ns must not have any references (in particular, there are
no pids in this namespace).

Changes:

	- kill proc_flush_task()->pid_ns_release_proc()

	- change fs/proc/root.c so that we don't create the "artificial"
	  references to the namespace or its pid==1.

	- change destroy_pid_namespace() to call pid_ns_release_proc().

	- change pid_ns_release_proc() to clear s_root->d_inode->pid.
	  The caller is destroy_pid_namespace(), this pid was already
	  freed.
