From 05b289263772b0698589abc47771264a685cd365 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Gushchin Date: Thu, 16 May 2019 10:38:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] signal: unconditionally leave the frozen state in ptrace_stop() Alex Xu reported a regression in strace, caused by the introduction of the cgroup v2 freezer. The regression can be reproduced by stracing the following simple program: #include int main() { write(1, "a", 1); return 0; } An attempt to run strace ./a.out leads to the infinite loop: [ pre-main omitted ] write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) [ repeats forever ] The problem occurs because the traced task leaves ptrace_stop() (and the signal handling loop) with the frozen bit set. So let's call cgroup_leave_frozen(true) unconditionally after sleeping in ptrace_stop(). With this patch applied, strace works as expected: [ pre-main omitted ] write(1, "a", 1) = 1 exit_group(0) = ? +++ exited with 0 +++ Reported-by: Alex Xu Fixes: 76f969e8948d ("cgroup: cgroup v2 freezer") Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo --- kernel/signal.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/kernel/signal.c b/kernel/signal.c index c4dd66436fc5..a1eb44dc9ff5 100644 --- a/kernel/signal.c +++ b/kernel/signal.c @@ -2113,6 +2113,7 @@ static void ptrace_stop(int exit_code, int why, int clear_code, kernel_siginfo_t preempt_enable_no_resched(); cgroup_enter_frozen(); freezable_schedule(); + cgroup_leave_frozen(true); } else { /* * By the time we got the lock, our tracer went away.
