signals: kill(-1) should only signal processes in the same namespace
PATCH 1/2 signals: kill(-1) should only signal processes in the same namespace
While moving Linux-VServer to using pid namespaces, I noticed that kill(-1) from inside a pid namespace is currently signalling every process in the entire system, including processes that are otherwise unreachable from the current process.
This patch fixes it by making sure that only processes which are in the same pid namespace as current get signalled.

This patch fixes it by making sure that only processes which are in the same pid namespace as current get signalled.
This is to be done, indeed, but I do not like the proposed implementation, since you have to walk all the tasks in the system (under tasklist_lock, by the way) to search for a couple of interesting ones. Better look at how zap_pid_ns_processes works (by the way - I saw some patch doing so some time ago).

Can you please introduce kill_pidns_info and have both kill_something_info and zap_pid_ns_processes call this common function?
We want to walk the set of all pids in a pid namespace. /proc does this and it is the recommended idiom. If walking all of the pids in a pid namespace is not fast enough we can accelerate that.
You are correct signalling every thread in a namespace is worse, in fact it is semantically incorrect. zap_pid_ns_processes gets away
with it because it is sending SIGKILL. Therefore kill_pidns_info
should skip sending a signal to every task that is not the thread_group_leader.
We need to hold the tasklist_lock to prevent new processes from joining the list of all processes. Otherwise we could run the code under the rcu_read_lock.

Anyway, I think we should change
kill_something_info(-1)to usercu_read_lock()instead of tasklist.
Being dense I think the locking implications of a correct implementation are more then we are ready to deal with to fix this bug. Although I remember discussing it and seeing something reasonable.

kill_something_info()can't walk threads, think about the realtime signals.
walking threads is fine delivering signals to non thread group leaders is a problem.

While moving Linux-VServer to using pid namespaces, I noticed that kill(-1) from inside a pid namespace is currently signalling every process in the entire system, including processes that are otherwise unreachable from the current process.
This is not a "news" actually, buy anyway - thanks :)
And yet nobody's fixed it... Kind of a critical thing, if you actually want to use them, since most distribution's rc-scripts do a
kill(-1, SIGTERM), followed bykill(-1, SIGKILL)when halting (which, needless to say, would be very bad).Quoted 8 lines

This patch fixes it by making sure that only processes which are in the same pid namespace as current get signalled.
This is to be done, indeed, but I do not like the proposed implementation, since you have to walk all the tasks in the system (under
tasklist_lock, by the way) to search for a couple of interesting ones. Better look at howzap_pid_ns_processesworks (by the way - I saw some patch doing so some time ago).
Quoted 4 lines
The way
zap_pid_ns_processesdoes it is worse, since it signals every thread in the namespace rather than every thread group. So either we walk the global tasklist, or we create a per-namespace one. Is that what we want?
Can you please introduce kill_pidns_info and have both kill_something_info and zap_pid_ns_processes call this common function?
We want to walk the set of all pids in a pid namespace. /proc does this and it is the recommended idiom. If walking all of the pids in a pid namespace is not fast enough we can accelerate that.
You are correct signalling every thread in a namespace is worse, in fact it is semantically incorrect. zap_pid_ns_processes gets away
with it because it is sending SIGKILL. Therefore kill_pidns_info
should skip sending a signal to every task that is not the thread_group_leader.
We need to hold the tasklist_lock to prevent new processes from joining the list of all processes. Otherwise we could run the code under the rcu_read_lock.
