From 6b3934ef52712ece50605dfc72e55d00c580831a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 16:11:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] copy_process: cleanup bad_fork_cleanup_signal __exit_signal() does important cleanups atomically under ->siglock. It is also called from copy_process's error path. This is not good, for example we can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason. We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under 'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label. For copy_process() case it is sufficient to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more. Again, nobody can see this task yet. For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it lockless. This patch assumes it is safe to do exit_thread_group_keys() without tasklist_lock. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W.
