    sched: fix TASK_WAKEKILL vs SIGKILL race · 16882c1e
    Oleg Nesterov 提交于
    schedule() has the special "TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE && signal_pending()" case,
    this allows us to do
    
    	current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
    	schedule();
    
    without fear to sleep with pending signal.
    
    However, the code like
    
    	current->state = TASK_KILLABLE;
    	schedule();
    
    is not right, schedule() doesn't take TASK_WAKEKILL into account. This means
    that mutex_lock_killable(), wait_for_completion_killable(), down_killable(),
    schedule_timeout_killable() can miss SIGKILL (and btw the second SIGKILL has
    no effect).
    
    Introduce the new helper, signal_pending_state(), and change schedule() to
    use it. Hopefully it will have more users, that is why the task's state is
    passed separately.
    
    Note this "__TASK_STOPPED | __TASK_TRACED" check in signal_pending_state().
    This is needed to preserve the current behaviour (ptrace_notify). I hope
    this check will be removed soon, but this (afaics good) change needs the
    separate discussion.
    
    The fast path is "(state & (INTERRUPTIBLE | WAKEKILL)) + signal_pending(p)",
    basically the same that schedule() does now. However, this patch of course
    bloats schedule().
