Subject: [PATCH 02/14] audit: Fix invalid wakeup in kauditd_thread
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2013 21:57:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1377784669-28140-3-git-send-email-huawei.libin@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1377784669-28140-1-git-send-email-huawei.libin@huawei.com>

If this thread is preempted at(or before) location a, and the other thread
set the condition followed with wake_up_process. After that
when this thread is re-scheduled, calling set_current_state to set itself as
state TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, if it is preempted again after that and before
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING), it triggers the invalid wakeup problem.
----------------
kauditd_thread()
----------------
while (!kthread_should_stop()) {
	...
		//location a
		set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	...

		if (!skb_queue_len(&audit_skb_queue)) {
			//location b
			try_to_freeze();
			schedule();
			//location c
		}

	__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
	//location d
	...
}

To solve this problem, using preempt_disable() to bound the operaion that
setting the task state and the conditions(set by the wake thread) validation.
----------------
kauditd_thread()
----------------
while (!kthread_should_stop()) {
	...
		preempt_disable();
	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	...

		if (!skb_queue_len(&audit_skb_queue)) {
			preempt_enable();
			try_to_freeze();
			schedule();
			preempt_disable();
		}

	__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
	preempt_enable();
	...
}
