Recently we committed a fix to allow processes to receive notifications for non-zero exits via the process connector module. Commit is a4c9a56e6a2c.
However, for threads, when it does a pthread_exit(&exit_status) call, the kernel is not aware of the exit status with which pthread_exit is called. It is sent by child thread to the parent process, if it is waiting in pthread_join(). Hence, for a thread exiting abnormally, kernel cannot send notifications to any listening processes.
The exception to this is if the thread is sent a signal which it has not handled, and dies along with it's process as a result; for eg. SIGSEGV or SIGKILL. In this case, kernel is aware of the non-zero exit and sends a notification for it.
For our use case, we cannot have parent wait in pthread_join, one of the main reasons for this being that we do not want to track normal pthread_exit(), which could be a very large number. We only want to be notified of any abnormal exits. Hence, threads are created with pthread_attr_t set to PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED.
To fix this problem, we add a new type PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY to proc connector API, which allows a thread to send it's exit status to kernel either when it needs to call pthread_exit() with non-zero value to indicate some error or from signal handler before pthread_exit().
v->v1 changes: - Handled comment by Simon Horman to remove unused err in cn_proc.c - Handled comment by Simon Horman to make adata and key_display static in cn_hash_test.c

Add a new type PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY to proc connector API, which allows a thread to notify the kernel that is going to exit with a non-zero exit code and specify the exit code in it. When thread exits in the kernel, it will send this exit code as a proc filter notification to any listening process. Exiting thread can call this either when it wants to call pthread_exit() with non-zero value or from signal handler.
Add a new file cn_hash.c which implements a hash table storing the exit codes of abnormally exiting threads, received by the system call above. The key used for the hash table is the pid of the thread, so when the thread actually exits, we lookup it's pid in the hash table and retrieve the exit code sent by user. If the exit code in struct task is 0, we then replace it with the user supplied non-zero exit code.
cn_hash.c implements the hash table add, delete, lookup operations. mutex_lock() and mutex_unlock() operations are used to safeguard the integrity of the hash table while adding or deleting elements. connector.c has the API calls, called from cn_proc.c, as well as calls to allocate, initialize and free the hash table.
Add a new flag in PF_* flags of task_struct - EXIT_NOTIFY. This flag is set when user sends the exit code via PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY. While exiting, this flag is checked and the hash table add or delete calls are only made if this flag is set.
A refcount field hrefcnt is added in struct cn_hash_dev, to keep track of number of threads which have added an entry in hash table. Before freeing the struct cn_hash_dev, this value must be 0.

ANJALI> Missed this earlier, but it should actually not be needed, as both paths which modify the flags are via a syscall? I will go ahead and remove the locking, and send out in my next revision (if I missed anything let me know).
Kunit tests to test hash table add, delete, duplicate add and delete. Add following configs and compile kernel code:
CONFIG_CONNECTOR=y CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS=y CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_KUNIT=m CONFIG_CN_HASH_KUNIT_TEST=m
To run kunit tests: sudo modprobe cn_hash_test
Output of kunit tests and hash table contents are displayed in /var/log/messages (at KERN_DEBUG level).

Test to check if setting PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY in proc connector API, allows a thread's non-zero exit status to be returned to proc_filter.
The threads.c program creates 2 child threads. 1st thread handles signal SIGSEGV, and 2nd thread needs to indicate some error condition (value 1) to the kernel, instead of using pthread_exit() with 1.
In both cases, child sends notify_netlink_thread_exit(exit_code) to kernel, to let kernel know it has exited abnormally with exit_code.
Compile: make thread make proc_filter To see non-zero exit notifications, run: ./proc_filter -f Run threads code in another window: ./threads Note the 2 child thread IDs reported above Send SIGSEGV signal to the child handling SIGSEGV: kill -11 <child1-tid> Watch the child 1 tid being notified with exit code 11 to proc_filter Watch child 2 tid being notified with exit code 1 (value defined in code) to proc_filter

I really don't think this should be going via networking. We can help review the netlink bits, if any, but otherwise we are far outside of our comfort zone.
IOW when you repost please drop the net-next designation and you'll need to find someone else to merge these patches, or send a PR directly to Linus himself during the merge window.

connector: Move maintainence under networking drivers umbrella.
Evgeniy does not have the time nor capacity to maintain the connector subsystem any longer, so just move it under networking as that is effectively what has been happening lately.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller davem@davemloft.net
There wasn't much development in this code for a long while, so I guess it was done just to make sure patches don't fall thru the cracks. But you seem to be trying to develop it more actively.
Okay, if nobody else who want to take these patches into their tree raises their hand - we can try to continue to process the patches, as long as Peter or someone else with the expertise acks them.

Thank you! However, looking at the MAINTAINERS file, drivers/connector/ is listed under NETWORKING DRIVERS. Hence sending on net-next is the most appropriate place?
Hm. It was done relatively recently in
commit 46cf789b68b25744be3dc99efd4afce4a5381b5c Author: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net mailto:davem@davemloft.net> Date: Thu Sep 10 08:40:13 2020 -0700
connector: Move maintainence under networking drivers umbrella.
Evgeniy does not have the time nor capacity to maintain the connector subsystem any longer, so just move it under networking as that is effectively what has been happening lately.

There wasn't much development in this code for a long while, so I guess it was done just to make sure patches don't fall thru the cracks. But you seem to be trying to develop it more actively.
Okay, if nobody else who want to take these patches into their tree raises their hand - we can try to continue to process the patches, as long as Peter or someone else with the expertise acks them.
