wait_task_zombie: fix 2/3 races vs forget_original_parent()
Two threads, T1 and T2. T2 ptraces P, and P is not a child of ptracer's thread group. P exits and goes to TASK_ZOMBIE. T1 does wait_task_zombie(P): P->exit_state = TASK_DEAD; ... read_unlock(&tasklist_lock); T2 does exit(), takes tasklist, forget_original_parent() does __ptrace_unlink(P) but doesn't call do_notify_parent(P) because p->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD. Now, P is not visible to our process: __ptrace_unlink() removed it from ->children. We should send notification to P->parent and release P if and only if SIGCHLD is ignored. And we have 3 bugs: 1. P->parent does do_wait() and gets -ECHILD (P is on ->parent->children, but its state is TASK_DEAD). 2. // wait_task_zombie() continues if (put_user(...)) { // TODO: is this safe? p->exit_state = EXIT_ZOMBIE; return; } we return without notification/release, task_struct leaked. Solution: ignore -EFAULT and proceed. It is an application's bug if we can't fill infop/stat_addr (in case of VM_FAULT_OOM we have much more problems). 3. // wait_task_zombie() continues if (p->real_parent != p->parent) { // Not taken, it was untraced'ed ... } release_task(p); we released the task which we shouldn't. Solution: check ->real_parent != ->parent before, under tasklist_lock, but use ptrace_unlink() instead of __ptrace_unlink() to check ->ptrace. This patch hopefully solves 2 and 3, the 1st bug will be fixed later, we need some cleanups in forget_original_parent/reparent_thread. However, the first race is very unlikely and not critical, so I hope it makes sense to fix 1 and 2 for now. 4. Small cleanup: don't "restore" EXIT_ZOMBIE unless we know we are not going to realease the child.
