Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v2 1/2] pids: fix cleanup of orphaned pids_task1 children
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 10:30:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616-fix_pids_errors-v2-1-a1e1d377f8b7@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616-fix_pids_errors-v2-0-a1e1d377f8b7@suse.com>
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
pids_task1 forks a child that calls pause(), then the parent exits.
The orphaned child remains in the cgroup but gets reparented to init,
so it is not a child of the test shell.
stop_pids_tasks_path() reads cgroup.procs which includes this orphan.
kill -9 succeeds but wait fails with 'not a child of this shell'.
Using ROD for kill also unnecessarily aborts if the process is already
dead.
Fix by suppressing errors from both kill and wait, and add killall
for pids_task1 in cleanup() to catch any remaining orphans.
