[ Upstream commit 28319d6dc5e2ffefa452c2377dd0f71621b5bff0 ]
RCU Tasks and PID-namespace unshare can interact in do_exit() in a
complicated circular dependency:
1) TASK A calls unshare(CLONE_NEWPID), this creates a new PID namespace
that every subsequent child of TASK A will belong to. But TASK A
doesn't itself belong to that new PID namespace.
2) TASK A forks() and creates TASK B. TASK A stays attached to its PID
namespace (let's say PID_NS1) and TASK B is the first task belonging
to the new PID namespace created by unshare() (let's call it PID_NS2).
3) Since TASK B is the first task attached to PID_NS2, it becomes the
PID_NS2 child reaper.
4) TASK A forks() again and creates TASK C which get attached to PID_NS2.
Note how TASK C has TASK A as a parent (belonging to PID_NS1) but has
TASK B (belonging to PID_NS2) as a pid_namespace child_reaper.
5) TASK B exits and since it is the child reaper for PID_NS2, it has to
kill all other tasks attached to PID_NS2, and wait for all of them to
die before getting reaped itself (zap_pid_ns_process()).
6) TASK A calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() which leads to
synchronize_srcu(&tasks_rcu_exit_srcu).
7) TASK B is waiting for TASK C to get reaped. But TASK B is under a
tasks_rcu_exit_srcu SRCU critical section (exit_notify() is between
exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()), blocking TASK A.
8) TASK C exits and since TASK A is its parent, it waits for it to reap
TASK C, but it can't because TASK A waits for TASK B that waits for
TASK C.
Pid_namespace semantics can hardly be changed at this point. But the
coverage of tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be reduced instead.
The current task is assumed not to be concurrently reapable at this
stage of exit_notify() and therefore tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be
temporarily relaxed without breaking its constraints, providing a way
out of the deadlock scenario.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
