    Subject[34-longterm 188/196] taskstats: don't allow duplicate entries in listener mode
    Date
    From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@openwall.com>

    -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
    -------------------

    commit 26c4caea9d697043cc5a458b96411b86d7f6babd upstream.

    Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times.
    It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process
    terminations.

    Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of
    kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7
    seconds instead of normal 0.003. It makes it possible to exhaust all
    kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits
    on a single CPU.

    The patch limits the number of times a single process may register
    itself on a single CPU to one.

    One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before
    exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not
    explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and
    implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners(). So, if a process
    registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets
    the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes.
