Subject: [PATCH 1/2] exit: call disassociate_ctty() before exit_task_namespaces()
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:04:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140317180448.GB15708@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140317180416.GA15708@redhat.com>

8aac62706ada "move exit_task_namespaces() outside of exit_notify()"
breaks pppd and the exiting service crashes the kernel:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
    IP: [<ffffffffa06985a3>] ppp_register_channel+0x13/0x20 [ppp_generic]
    ...
    Call Trace:
     [<ffffffffa06ab2ab>] ? ppp_asynctty_open+0x12b/0x170 [ppp_async]
     [<ffffffff812ec907>] ? tty_ldisc_open.isra.2+0x27/0x60
     [<ffffffff812ed1d3>] ? tty_ldisc_hangup+0x1e3/0x220
     [<ffffffff812e4614>] ? __tty_hangup+0x2c4/0x440
     [<ffffffff812e56a1>] ? disassociate_ctty+0x61/0x270
     [<ffffffff810483c2>] ? do_exit+0x7f2/0xa50

ppp_register_channel() needs ->net_ns and current->nsproxy == NULL.

Move disassociate_ctty() before exit_task_namespaces(), it doesn't
make sense to delay it after perf_event_exit_task() or cgroup_exit().

This also allows to use task_work_add() inside the (nontrivial) code
paths in disassociate_ctty().
