Hi,

Hi Yann, So sorry I missed your email. My email filters were messed up and I fixed them now but missed a bunch of emails :(

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")

Not needed if poll() timeout is used instead.

Instead of relying on a timer for no reason, I would use the following:

    while (1)
            pause();

Yeah, not much difference I think. If you don't strongly object I'll keep it this way.

...

•                 exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
  

•         }
  

•         /* Parent kills the child and waits for its death */
  

•         pidfd = sys_pidfd_open(child_pid, 0);
  

•         if (pidfd < 0)
  

•                 ksft_exit_fail_msg("%s - pidfd_open failed\n",
  

•                                 strerror(errno));
  

•         /* Setup 3 sec alarm - plenty of time */
  

•         if (signal(SIGALRM, handle_alarm) == SIG_ERR)
  

•                 ksft_exit_fail_msg("%s - signal failed\n",
  

•                                 strerror(errno));
  

•         alarm(3);
  

Would the poll() timeout be more simpler to use than relying on SIGALRM: no need to setup signal, no need for handler, no need for timeout variable.

Unfortunately that would not work because after timeout is passed poll() checks for the condition one last time, it sees that the process is dead (the condition is satisfied) and it returns nevents==1 (event did happen) instead of nevents==0 (poll timed out). I did implement it this way originally and was surprised that it never timed out even when I saw a 3 sec delay but then figured it out after going through the kernel code.

...

•         /* Send SIGKILL to the child */
  

•         if (sys_pidfd_send_signal(pidfd, SIGKILL, NULL, 0))
  

•                 ksft_exit_fail_msg("%s - pidfd_send_signal failed\n",
  

•                                 strerror(errno));
  

•         /* Wait for the death notification */
  

•         fds.fd = pidfd;
  

•         nevents = poll(&fds, 1, -1);
  

With

    nevents = poll(&fds, 1, 3000);

...

•         /* Check for error conditions */
  

•         if (nevents < 0)
  

•                 ksft_exit_fail_msg("%s - poll failed\n",
  

•                                 strerror(errno));
  

And if (nevents == 0) ksft_exit_fail_msg( "death notification wait timeout\n");

...

•         if (nevents != 1)
  

•                 ksft_exit_fail_msg("unexpected poll result: %d\n",
  

•                                 nevents);
  

•         if (!(fds.revents & POLLIN))
  

•                 ksft_exit_fail_msg(
  

•                         "unexpected event type received: 0x%x\n",
  

•                         fds.revents);
  

•         if (timeout)
  

•                 ksft_exit_fail_msg(
  

•                         "death notification wait timeout\n");
  

•         close(pidfd);
  

•         // Wait for child to prevent zombies
  

•         if (waitpid(child_pid, NULL, 0) < 0)
  

•                 ksft_exit_fail_msg("%s - waitpid failed\n",
  

•                                 strerror(errno));
  

I feel safer now you defeated the zombies army :) Thanks.

Thanks for pointing it out!
