Subject: [PATCH] fix de_thread() vs do_coredump() deadlock
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 20:50:54 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <434E906E.85BD86BF@tv-sign.ru> (raw)

de_thread() sends SIGKILL to all sub-threads and
waits them to die in 'D' state. It is possible that
one of the threads already dequeued coredump signal.
When de_thread() unlocks ->sighand->lock that thread
can enter do_coredump()->coredump_wait() and cause a
deadlock.
