Mixing TIF_SIGPENDING with kernel threads can lead to nasty corner cases as kernel threads never travel signal delivery path on their own. e.g. the current implementation is buggy in the cancelation path of __thaw_task(). It calls recalc_sigpending_and_wake() in an attempt to clear TIF_SIGPENDING but the function never clears it regardless of sigpending state. This means that signallable freezable kthreads may continue executing with !freezing() && stuck TIF_SIGPENDING, which can be troublesome. This patch removes set_freezable_with_signal() along with PF_FREEZER_NOSIG and recalc_sigpending*() calls in freezer. User tasks get TIF_SIGPENDING, kernel tasks get woken up and the spurious sigpending is dealt with in the usual signal delivery path.

Although this new implementation gives a better answer to the question "is this CPU idle?", it also invalidates other uses that were made of idle_cpu(). This commit therefore introduces a new is_idle_task() API member that determines whether or not the specified task is one of the idle tasks, allowing open-coded "->pid == 0" sequences to be replaced by something more meaningful.

On-going migration could race against exec and exit leading to interesting problems - the symmetry between various attach methods, task exiting during method execution, ->exit() racing against attach methods, migrating task switching basic properties during exec and so on. This patch extends threadgroup_lock() such that it protects against all three threadgroup altering operations - fork, exit and exec. For exit, threadgroup_change_begin/end() calls are added to exit_signals around assertion of PF_EXITING. For exec, threadgroup_[un]lock() are updated to also grab and release cred_guard_mutex. With this change, threadgroup_lock() guarantees that the target threadgroup will remain stable - no new task will be added, no new PF_EXITING will be set and exec won't happen. The next patch will update cgroup so that it can take full advantage of this change. -v2: beefed up comment as suggested by Frederic. -v3: narrowed scope of protection in exit path as suggested by Frederic.

McKenney" Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 08:20:46 -0800 Subject: sched: Add "const" to is_idle_task() parameter This patch fixes a build warning in -next due to a const pointer being passed to is_idle_task(). Because is_idle_task() does not modify anything, this commit adds the "const" to is_idle_task()'s argument declaration. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This has been updated since I last sent it as the creation of the new mm_access() function did almost exactly the same thing as parts of the previous version of this patch did. In order to use mm_access() even when /proc isn't enabled, we move it to kernel/fork.c where other related process mm access functions already are.
