All you have to do now is figure out why :)
Ohh, I should be more explicit, this needs the mm_access part as well. Sorry for not being clear enough. So the full change is --- diff --git a/kernel/fork.c b/kernel/fork.c index 5a57b9bab85c..d5b7c3aea187 100644 --- a/kernel/fork.c +++ b/kernel/fork.c @@ -837,7 +837,7 @@ struct mm_struct *mm_access(struct task_struct *task, unsigned int mode) struct mm_struct *mm; int err; - err = mutex_lock_killable(&task->signal->cred_guard_mutex); + err = mutex_lock_interruptible(&task->signal->cred_guard_mutex); if (err) return ERR_PTR(err); diff --git a/kernel/signal.c b/kernel/signal.c index 96e9bc40667f..5c8b84b76f0b 100644 --- a/kernel/signal.c +++ b/kernel/signal.c @@ -91,6 +91,10 @@ static int sig_ignored(struct task_struct *t, int sig, bool force) if (!sig_task_ignored(t, sig, force)) return 0; + /* Do not ignore signals sent from child to the parent */ + if (current->ptrace && current->parent == t) + return 0; + /* * Tracers may want to know about even ignored signals. */ -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
