Commit Message

Suren Baghdasaryan July 25, 2019, 12:22 a.m. UTC
This adds testing for polling on pidfd of a process being killed. Test runs
10000 iterations by default to stress test pidfd polling functionality.
It accepts an optional command-line parameter to override the number or
iterations to run.
Specifically, it tests for:
- pidfd_open on a child process succeeds
- pidfd_send_signal on a child process succeeds
- polling on pidfd succeeds and returns exactly one event
- returned event is POLLIN
- event is received within 3 secs of the process being killed

10000 iterations was chosen because of the race condition being tested
which is not consistently reproducible but usually is revealed after less
than 2000 iterations.
Reveals race fixed by commit b191d6491be6 ("pidfd: fix a poll race when setting exit_state")

There's no call to wait(), or alike function. Is it required for the
test to left zombies ?

The test checks that death notification gets sent from kernel, which
by design should happen for any process that has non-zero
task->exit_state and that includes zombies (see
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.3-rc1/source/kernel/fork.c#L1731
for that condition). So IIUC this code, the poll() should succeed no
matter if the task is zombie or dead. Or do I misunderstand your
question?
Thanks,
Suren.

OK, so I think it would be better to call wait() (in the future
pidfd_wait()) to reap processes as they die.

I'm not afraid by one zombie, but herding an army of 10000 zombie
processes is another matter :)
