| |
Now that pid_ns logic was isolated we can change forget_original_parent() to return right after find_child_reaper() when father->children is empty, there is nothing to reparent in this case.
In particular this avoids find_alive_thread() and this can help if the whole process exits and it has a lot of PF_EXITING threads at the start of the thread list, this can easily lead to O(nr_threads ** 2) iterations.
Trivial test case (tested under KVM, 2 CPUs):
static void *tfunc(void *arg) { pause(); return NULL; }
static int child(unsigned int nt) { pthread_t pt;
while (nt--) assert(pthread_create(&pt, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0);
pthread_kill(pt, SIGTRAP); pause(); return 0; }
int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { int stat; unsigned int nf = atoi(argv[1]); unsigned int nt = atoi(argv[2]);
while (nf--) { if (!fork()) return child(nt);
wait(&stat); assert(stat == SIGTRAP); }
return 0; }
