Oleg Nesterov f2cc3eb133 do_wait: fix security checks ... Imho, the current usage of security_task_wait() is not logical. Suppose we have the single child p, and security_task_wait(p) return -EANY. In that case waitpid(-1) returns this error. Why? Isn't it better to return ECHLD? We don't really have reapable children. Now suppose that child was stolen by gdb. In that case we find this child on ->ptrace_children and set flag = 1, but we don't check that the child was denied. So, do_wait(..., WNOHANG) returns 0, this doesn't match the behaviour above. Without WNOHANG do_wait() blocks only to return the error later, when the child will be untraced. Inho, really strange. I think eligible_child() should return the error only if the child's pid was requested explicitly, otherwise we should silently ignore the tasks which were nacked by security_task_wait().
