From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at us.ibm.com>
With support for multiple pid namespaces, each pid namespace has a
separate child reaper and this process needs some special handling
of signals.
- The child reaper should appear like a normal process to other
processes in its ancestor namespaces and so should be killable
(or not) in the usual way.
- The child reaper should receive, from processes in it's active
and decendent namespaces, only those signals for which it has
installed a signal handler.
- System-wide signals (eg: kill signum -1) from within a child namespace
should only affect processes within that namespace and descendant
namespaces. They should not be posted to processes in ancestor or
sibling namespaces.
- If the sender of a signal does not have a pid_t in the receiver's
namespace (eg: a process in init_pid_ns sends a signal to a process
in a descendant namespace), the sender's pid should appear as 0
in the signal's siginfo structure.
- Existing rules for SIGIO delivery still apply and a process can
choose any other process in its namespace and descendant namespaces
to receive the SIGIO signal.
The following appears to be incorrect in the fcntl() man page for
F_SETOWN.
Sending a signal to the owner process (group) specified by
F_SETOWN is subject to the same permissions checks as are
described for kill(2), where the sending process is the one that
employs F_SETOWN (but see BUGS below).
Current behavior is that the SIGIO signal is delivered on behalf of
the process that caused the event (eg: made data available on the
file) and not the process that called fcntl().
To implement the above requirements, we:
- Add a check in check_kill_permission() for a process within a
namespace sending the fast-pathed, SIGKILL signal.
- We use a flag, SIGQUEUE_CINIT, to tell the container-init if
a signal posted to its queue is from a process within its own
namespace. The flag is set in send_signal() if a process attempts
to send a signal to its container-init.
The SIGQUEUE_CINIT flag is checked in collect_signal() - if
the flag is set, collect_signal() sets the KERN_SIGINFO_CINIT
flag in the kern_siginfo. The KERN_SIGINFO_CINIT flag indicates
that the sender is from within the namespace and the container-init
can choose to ignore the signal.
If the KERN_SIGINFO_CINIT flag is clear in get_signal_to_deliver(),
the signal originated from an ancestor namespace and so the
container-init honors the signal.
Note: We currently use two flags, SIGQUEUE_CINIT, KERN_SIGINFO_CINIT to
avoid modifying 'struct sigqueue'. If 'kern_siginfo' approach is
feasible, we could use 'kern_siginfo' in sigqueue and eliminate
SIGQUEUE_CINIT.
