Revision 9aea5a65aa7a1af9a4236dfaeb0088f1624f9919 authored by Roland McGrath on 08 September 2010, 02:37:06 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 10 September 2010, 15:10:26 UTC
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL. Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending(). We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.
