Subject: [PATCH] move tty_kref_put() outside of __cleanup_signal()
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:37:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100318223736.GA12944@redhat.com> (raw)
tty_kref_put() have two callsites in copy_process() pathes,
1. if copy_process() suceeds it is called before we copy
signal->tty from parent
2. otherwise it is called from __cleanup_signal() under
bad_fork_cleanup_signal: label
In both cases tty_kref_put() is not right and unneeded because we don't
have the balancing tty_kref_get(). Fortunately, this is harmless because
this can only happen without CLONE_THREAD, and in this case signal->tty
must be NULL.
Remove tty_kref_put() from copy_process() and __cleanup_signal(), and
change another caller of __cleanup_signal(), __exit_signal(), to call
tty_kref_put() by hand.
I hope this change makes sense by itself, but it is also needed to
make ->signal refcountable.
