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.

/*
* Quicklist support.
*
* Quicklists are light weight lists of pages that have a defined state
* on alloc and free. Pages must be in the quicklist specific defined state
* (zero by default) when the page is freed. It seems that the initial idea
* for such lists first came from Dave Miller and then various other people
* improved on it.
*
* Copyright (C) 2007 SGI,
* Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
* Generalized, added support for multiple lists and
* constructors / destructors.
