| |
I wrote a test program. It does clone(CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_VM) and sleep(), a new task repeates the same actions. This program creates 4000 tasks. When I tried to kill all this processes, a system was inaccessible for some minutes.
The system is inaccessible, because each process calls zap_pid_ns_processes, which tries to kill subprocesses under tasklist_lock. The most time are required for find_vpid().
I suggest to mark sub-namespaces in zap_pid_ns_processes. zap_pid_ns_processes for marked pidns doesn't kill tasks, it only waits them.
I am not sure, that this idea is correct, but it helps.
Maybe we should restrict depth of pidns? Why can't we enumerate task->children instead of using find_vpid()?
