Subject: [PATCH] signals: check_kill_permission: check session under tasklist_lock
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:44:31 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080318144431.GA3384@tv-sign.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080317170124.GA115@tv-sign.ru>

(on top of signals-cleanup-security_task_kill-usage-implementation.patch)

This wasn't documented, but as Atsushi Tsuji <a-tsuji@bk.jp.nec.com> pointed
out check_kill_permission() needs tasklist_lock for task_session_nr().
I missed this fact when removed tasklist from the callers.

Change check_kill_permission() to take tasklist_lock for the SIGCONT case.
Re-order security checks so that we take tasklist_lock only if/when it is
actually needed. This is a minimal fix for now, tasklist will be removed
later.

Also change the code to use task_session() instead of task_session_nr().

Also, remove the SIGCONT check from cap_task_kill(), it is bogus (and the
whole function is bogus. Serge, Eric, why it is still alive?).
