[PATCH 1/9] sig: Fix mqueue pid
type: item
description: Currently in the sig info for posix message queues we are reporting the task id and not the task group id. Given that this is a posix interface and that si_pid is defined by posix as returning the process id, we should be reporting the task group id. So fix this interface. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[PATCH 2/9] sig: Fix SI_USER si_pid
type: item
description: Currently we have a few instances where we are generating signals setting si_code to SI_USER and si_pid to the task id. However in the case of SI_USER we are using a posix defined interface, and posix defines si_pid as the sending process id. Which in linux is equivalent to the task group id. So fix SI_USER to fill in the proper si_pid value. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[PATCH 3/9] pid: Implement ns_of_pid.
type: item
description: A current problem with the pid namespace is that it is easy to do pid related work after exit_task_namespaces which drops the nsproxy pointer. However if we are doing pid namespace related work we are always operating on some struct pid which retains the pid_namespace pointer of the pid namespace it was allocated in. So provide ns_of_pid which allows us to find the pid namespace a pid was allocated in. Using this we have the needed infrastructure to do pid namespace related work at anytime we have a struct pid, removing the chance of accidentally having a NULL pointer dereference when accessing current->nsproxy.

[PATCH 4/9] pid: Generalize task_active_pid_ns
type: item
description: Currently task_active_pid_ns is not safe to call after a task becomes a zombie and exit_task_namespaces is called, as nsproxy becomes NULL. By reading the pid namespace from the pid of the task we can trivially solve this problem at the cost of one extra memory read in what should be the same cacheline as we read the namespace from. When moving things around I have made task_active_pid_ns out of line because keeping it in pid_namespace.h would require adding includes of pid.h and sched.h that I don't think we want. This change does make task_active_pid_ns unsafe to call during copy_process until we attach a pid on the task_struct which seems to be a reasonable trade off. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

I'd be more inclined to rename task_active_pid_ns to task_pid_ns. And to rename pid_in_pid_ns that Pavel has issues with to pid_in_ns. When I read active_pid_ns I wonder what the other namespaces are that we are distinguishing this from. They do exist in the implementation but so far it is a complete don't care. So I expect being as terse as we can while still conveying all of the relevant information is the most maintainable long term.

Well, there are interfaces like pid_nr_ns() and pid_in_ns() and task_in_pid_ns() that imply existence of other namespaces and for that reason we added 'active' in the name.

By the time I have acquired sighand lock I know release_task has executed and thus my ->pids[].pid is valid, because __exit_signal has not completed and thus __unhash_process has not yet run. When release_task_gets called we are EXIT_DEAD unhashed and unfindable and I don't care. I do however care about finding my pid namespace as long as the task is on hashed. So as long as we have tasklist_lock or sighand lock and we can find the task we are good. What this allows me to do (as seen later in the patchset) is to send to call pid_nr_ns and deliver a signal to a task group without caring if the element of the task group I am talking to is a zombie or not. Which is rather important when the task group leader has exited and a zombie, but yet it is the task all of the signals are sent to and group_send_siginfo is called on.

Yes I see, thanks Eric. I was confused by changelog, and I missed the subsequent changes which need task_active_pid_ns() of the reciever.
