Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 2/2] pid_namespace: make zap_pid_ns_processes() freezable
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 11:29:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021152921.291520-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021152921.291520-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Aviv Vaknin <vaknins33@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 81933038f5e273d17ed22792f906889393b204c5 ]
When the init of a pid namespace exits, zap_pid_ns_processes() waits
until all other pids in the namespace are freed. A tracer outside the
namespace that does not reap its traced zombies keeps those pids
allocated, so this wait has no upper bound, and while it lasts every
suspend attempt fails:
Freezing user space processes failed after 20.006 seconds (2 tasks refusing to freeze, wq_busy=0):
Neither wait is freezable. The first loop sleeps in do_wait(), which
returns -ERESTARTSYS on the freezer's fake signal; the loop then clears
TIF_SIGPENDING and waits again without ever freezing. The final loop
sleeps in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, and since nothing clears TIF_SIGPENDING
there, schedule() returns immediately after the first freeze attempt
and the task spins until the wait ends.
Sleep in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE in do_wait(), so that the
freezer can freeze tasks waiting there directly, and in TASK_IDLE |
TASK_FREEZABLE in the final loop, like coredump_task_exit() does.
This was hit with Chromium-based browsers: crashpad ptrace-attaches the
threads of a crashed renderer, which is a pid namespace init, and does
not reap those killed during the dump.
Fixes: 3eb07c8c8adb ("pid namespaces: destroy pid namespace on init's death")
Fixes: b9a985db9896 ("pid_ns: Sleep in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in zap_pid_ns_processes")
