Subject: [PATCH 1/2] taskstats: set version in TGID exit notifications
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 03:00:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ba83d934e59edd431b693607de573eb9ca059309.1774810498.git.cyyzero16@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1774810498.git.cyyzero16@gmail.com>
delay accounting started populating taskstats records with a valid
version field via fill_pid() and fill_tgid().
Later, commit ad4ecbcba728 ("[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats
interface send tgid once") changed the TGID exit path to send the
cached signal->stats aggregate directly instead of building the outgoing
record through fill_tgid(). Unlike fill_tgid(), fill_tgid_exit() only
accumulates accounting data and never initializes stats->version.
As a result, TGID exit notifications can reach userspace with
version == 0 even though PID exit notifications and
TASKSTATS_CMD_GET replies carry a valid taskstats version.
Set stats->version = TASKSTATS_VERSION after copying the cached TGID
aggregate into the outgoing netlink payload so all taskstats records are
self-describing again.
Fixes: ad4ecbcba728 ("[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid once")
