Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pidns: find_new_reaper() can no longer switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper
Date: Wed, 30 May 2012 20:15:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120530181515.GB20130@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120530181429.GA19989@redhat.com>
find_new_reaper() changes pid_ns->child_reaper, see add0d4df
"pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing".
The original reason has gone away after the previous patch,
->children list must be empty after zap_pid_ns_processes().
However now we can not switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper.
__unhash_process() relies on the "->child_reaper == parent"
check, but this check does not work if the last exiting task
is also the child reaper.
As Eric sugested, we can change __unhash_process() to use the
parent's pid_ns and remove this code.
Also, with this change we can move detach_pid(PIDTYPE_PID) back,
where it was before the previous fix.
