      posix-timers: fix posix_timer_event() vs dequeue_signal() race · ba661292
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      The bug was reported and analysed by Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>,
      the patch is based on his and Roland's suggestions.
      
      posix_timer_event() always rewrites the pre-allocated siginfo before sending
      the signal. Most of the written info is the same all the time, but memset(0)
      is very wrong. If ->sigq is queued we can race with collect_signal() which
      can fail to find this siginfo looking at .si_signo, or copy_siginfo() can
      copy the wrong .si_code/si_tid/etc.
      
      In short, sys_timer_settime() can in fact stop the active timer, or the user
      can receive the siginfo with the wrong .si_xxx values.
      
      Move "memset(->info, 0)" from posix_timer_event() to alloc_posix_timer(),
      change send_sigqueue() to set .si_overrun = 0 when ->sigq is not queued.
      It would be nice to move the whole sigq->info initialization from send to
      create path, but this is not easy to do without uglifying timer_create()
      further.
      
      As Roland rightly pointed out, we need more cleanups/fixes here, see the
      "FIXME" comment in the patch. Hopefully this patch makes sense anyway, and
      it can mask the most bad implications.
