signals: fix /sbin/init protection from unwanted signals

- The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver()
  protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal
  signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread.
  If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not
  right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader),
  this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have.

- Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
  on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this
  is just wrong.

Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems.  It also helps
to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches.

Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used

The latter allows us to kill some subtle checks in handle_stop_signal() and
makes the specific/group signal's behaviour more consistent.  For example,
currently sigtimedwait(FATAL_SIGNAL) behaves differently depending on was the

The comment in send_sig_info() is wrong, tasklist_lock can't help.

The caller must ensure the task can't go away, otherwise ->sighand can be NULL
even before we take the lock.

p->sighand could be changed by exec(), but I can't imagine how it is possible
to prevent exit(), but not exec().

Since the things seem to work, I assume all callers are correct.  However,
drm_vbl_send_signals() looks broken.  block_all_signals() which is solely used
by drm is definitely broken.

Oleg Nesterov [Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:52:44 +0000 (00:52 -0700)]
signals: re-assign CLD_CONTINUED notification from the sender to reciever

Based on discussion with Jiri and Roland.

In short: currently handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT, p) sends the notification to
p->parent, with this patch p itself notifies its parent when it becomes
running.

handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT) has to drop ->siglock temporary in order to notify
the parent with do_notify_parent_cldstop().  This leads to multiple problems:

- as Jiri Kosina pointed out, the stopped task can resume without
  actually seeing SIGCONT which may have a handler.

- we race with another sig_kernel_stop() signal which may come in
  that window.

- we race with sig_fatal() signals which may set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
  in that window.

- we can't avoid taking tasklist_lock() while sending SIGCONT.

With this patch handle_stop_signal() just sets the new SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED
flag in p->signal->flags and returns.  The notification is sent by the first
task which returns from finish_stop() (there should be at least one) or any
other signalled thread from get_signal_to_deliver().

This is a user-visible change.  Say, currently kill(SIGCONT, stopped_child)
can't return without seeing SIGCHLD, with this patch SIGCHLD can be delayed
unpredictably.  Another difference is that if the child is ptraced by another
process, CLD_CONTINUED may be delivered to ->real_parent after ptrace_detach()
while currently it always goes to the tracer which doesn't actually need this
notification.  Hopefully not a problem.

The patch asks for the futher obvious cleanups, I'll send them separately.

Both functions do the same thing after proper locking, but with
different sigpending structs, so move the common code into a helper.

After this we have 4 places that look very similar: send_sigqueue: calls
do_send_sigqueue and signal_wakeup send_group_sigqueue: calls
do_send_sigqueue and __group_complete_signal __group_send_sig_info:
calls send_signal and __group_complete_signal specific_send_sig_info:
calls send_signal and signal_wakeup

Besides, send_signal performs actions similar to do_send_sigqueue's
and __group_complete_signal - to signal_wakeup.

It looks like they can be consolidated gracefully.

Oleg said:

  Personally, I think this change is very good.  But send_sigqueue() and
  send_group_sigqueue() have a very subtle difference which I was never able
  to understand.

  Let's suppose that sigqueue is already queued, and the signal is ignored
  (the latter means we should re-schedule cpu timer or handle overrruns).  In
  that case send_sigqueue() returns 0, but send_group_sigqueue() returns 1.

  I think this is not the problem (in fact, I think this patch makes the
  behaviour more correct), but I hope Thomas can take a look and confirm.

-added blocked_wait waitqueue to rdev
-don't qualify Blocked with Faulty always let userspace block writes
-added md_wait_for_blocked_rdev to wait for the block device to be clear, if
 userspace misses the notification another one is sent every 5 seconds
-set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED after clearing "blocked"

md: fix 'safemode' handling for external metadata.

'safemode' relates to marking an array as 'clean' if there has been no write
traffic for a while (a couple of seconds), to reduce the chance of the array
being found dirty on reboot.

->safemode is set to '1' when there have been no write for a while, and it
gets set to '0' when the superblock is updates with the 'clean' flag set.

This requires a few fixes for 'external' metadata:
 - When an array is set to 'clean' via sysfs, 'safemode' must be cleared.
 - when we write to an array that has 'safemode' set (there must have been
        some delay in updating the metadata), we need to clear safemode.
 - Don't try to update external metadata in md_check_recovery for safemode
        transitions - it won't work.

Also, don't try to support "immediate safe mode" (safemode==2) for external
metadata, it cannot really work (the safemode timeout can be set very low if
this is really needed).
