sched/autogroup: Do not use autogroup->tg in zombie threads

2016-11-22T11:33:43Z

Exactly because for_each_thread() in autogroup_move_group() can't see it and update its ->sched_task_group before _put() and possibly free(). So the exiting task needs another sched_move_task() before exit_notify() and we need to re-introduce the PF_EXITING (or similar) check removed by the previous change for another reason.

mm, oom: enforce exit_oom_victim on current task

2016-10-08T01:46:28Z

There are no users of exit_oom_victim on !current task anymore so enforce the API to always work on the current.

sched/core: Optimize __schedule()

2016-09-22T12:53:45Z

Oleg noted that by making do_exit() use __schedule() for the TASK_DEAD context switch, we can avoid the TASK_DEAD special case currently in __schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from schedule(). In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule(). Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no coming back from do_exit().

mm, mempolicy: task->mempolicy must be NULL before dropping final reference

2016-09-02T00:52:01Z

KASAN allocates memory from the page allocator as part of kmem_cache_free(), and that can reference current->mempolicy through any number of allocation functions. It needs to be NULL'd out before the final reference is dropped to prevent a use-after-free bug: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in alloc_pages_current+0x363/0x370 at addr ffff88010b48102c CPU: 0 PID: 15425 Comm: trinity-c2 Not tainted 4.8.0-rc2+ #140 ...

sched/api: Introduce task_rcu_dereference() and try_get_task_struct()

2016-06-03T07:18:57Z

Generally task_struct is only protected by RCU if it was found on a RCU protected list (say, for_each_process() or find_task_by_vpid()). As Kirill pointed out rq->curr isn't protected by RCU, the scheduler drops the (potentially) last reference without RCU gp, this means that we need to fix the code which uses foreign_rq->curr under rcu_read_lock(). Add a new helper which can be used to dereference rq->curr or any other pointer to task_struct assuming that it should be cleared or updated before the final put_task_struct(). It returns non-NULL only if this task can't go away before rcu_read_unlock(). ( Also add try_get_task_struct() to make it easier to use this API correctly. ) Suggested-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov [ Updated comments; added try_get_task_struct()] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Chris Metcalf Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Kirill Tkhai Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Vladimir Davydov Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160518170218.GY3192@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

wait: allow sys_waitid() to accept WNOTHREAD/WCLONE/__WALL

2016-05-24T00:04:14Z

I see no reason why waitid() can't support other linux-specific flags allowed in sys_wait4(). In particular this change can help if we reconsider the previous change ("wait/ptrace: assume __WALL if the child is traced") which adds the "automagical" __WALL for debugger.
