Subject: [PATCH] connector: Fix regression introduced by sid connector
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2009 08:43:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200909300843.11208.borntraeger@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090929162855.GA15319@redhat.com>

Hi Andrew,

since commit 02b51df1b07b4e9ca823c89284e704cadb323cd1 (proc connector: add event 
for process becoming session leader) we have the following warning:
Badness at kernel/softirq.c:143
[...]

 [<00000041616cb266>] 0x41616cb266

The warning is
--->    WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled());

The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but
sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling
the connector. 
After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector
from __set_special_pids to sys_setsid.
We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from
task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the
session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM.

One last thing:
There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a
notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user
space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems
to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If
we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an
additional patch (Scott?)
