From 0d0df599f1f11f12d589318bacb59a50fb5c0310 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:49:34 -0700 Subject: connector: fix regression introduced by sid connector Since commit 02b51df1b07b4e9ca823c89284e704cadb323cd1 (proc connector: add event for process becoming session leader) we have the following warning: Badness at kernel/softirq.c:143 [...] Krnl PSW : 0404c00180000000 00000000001481d4 (local_bh_enable+0xb0/0xe0) [...] Call Trace: ([<000000013fe04100>] 0x13fe04100) [<000000000048a946>] sk_filter+0x9a/0xd0 [<000000000049d938>] netlink_broadcast+0x2c0/0x53c [<00000000003ba9ae>] cn_netlink_send+0x272/0x2b0 [<00000000003baef0>] proc_sid_connector+0xc4/0xd4 [<0000000000142604>] __set_special_pids+0x58/0x90 [<0000000000159938>] sys_setsid+0xb4/0xd8 [<00000000001187fe>] sysc_noemu+0x10/0x16 [<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?) Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger Cc: Scott James Remnant Cc: Matt Helsley Cc: David S.
