From a7f0765edfd53aed09cb7b0e15863688b39447de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:56:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: __ptrace_detach: do __wake_up_parent() if we reap the tracee The bug is old, it wasn't cause by recent changes. Test case: static void *tfunc(void *arg) { int pid = (long)arg; assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL) == 0); kill(pid, SIGKILL); sleep(1); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t th; long pid = fork(); if (!pid) pause(); signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN); assert(pthread_create(&th, NULL, tfunc, (void*)pid) == 0); int r = waitpid(-1, NULL, __WNOTHREAD); printf("waitpid: %d %m\n", r); return 0; } Before the patch this program hangs, after this patch waitpid() correctly fails with errno == -ECHILD. The problem is, __ptrace_detach() reaps the EXIT_ZOMBIE tracee if its ->real_parent is our sub-thread and we ignore SIGCHLD. But in this case we should wake up other threads which can sleep in do_wait().
