See ChangeLog entries starting on +2012-03-20, and multiple on 2012-03-21. + +Making the handle inheritable meant that, as usual, there were problems +with non-Cygwin processes. When Cygwin "execs" a non-Cygwin process N, +all of its N + 1, N + 2, ... children will also inherit the handle. +That means that Cygwin will wait until all subprocesses have exited +before it returns. + +I was willing to make this a restriction of starting non-Cygwin +processes but the problem with allowing that is that it can cause the +creation of a "limbo" pid when N exits and N + 1 and friends are still +around. In this scenario, Cygwin dutifully notices that process N has +died and sets the exit code to indicate that but N's parent will wait on +rd_proc_pipe and will only return when every N + ... windows process +has exited. + +The removal of cygheap::pid_handle was not related to the initial +problem that I set out to fix. The change came from the realization +that we were duping the current process handle into the child twice and +only needed to do it once. The current process handle is used by exec +to keep the Windows pid "alive" so that it will not be reused. So, now +we just close parent in child_info_spawn::handle_spawn iff we're not +execing. + +In debugging this it bothered me that 'ps' identified a nonactive pid as +active. Part of the reason for this was the 'parent' handle in +child_info was opened in non-Cygwin processes, keeping the pid alive. +That has been kluged around (more changes after 1.7.15) but that didn't +fix the problem. On further investigation, this seems to be caused by +the fact that the shared memory region pid handles were still being +passed to non-cygwin children, keeping the pid alive in a limbo-like +fashion. This was easily fixed by having pinfo::init() consider a +memory region with PID_REAPED as not available. + +This fixed the problem where a pid showed up in the list after a user +does something like: "bash$ cmd /c start notepad" but, for some reason, +it does not fix the problem where "bash$ setsid cmd /c start notepad". +That bears investigation after 1.7.15 is released but it is not a +regression and so is not a blocker for the release. + 2012-05-03 cgf-000002 <1.7.15> diff --git a/winsup/cygwin/cygheap.h b/winsup/cygwin/cygheap.h index 154ad6a84..4895019aa 100644 --- a/winsup/cygwin/cygheap.h +++ b/winsup/cygwin/cygheap.h @@ -390,7 +390,6 @@ struct init_cygheap: public mini_cygheap struct _cygtls **threadlist; size_t sthreads; pid_t pid; /* my pid */ - HANDLE pid_handle; /* handle for my pid */ struct { /* Equivalent to using LIST_HEAD. */ struct inode_t *lh_first; } inode_list; /* Global inode pointer for adv. locking. */ diff --git a/winsup/cygwin/dcrt0.cc b/winsup/cygwin/dcrt0.cc index 63eaa70dd..aea2a564b 100644 --- a/winsup/cygwin/dcrt0.cc +++ b/winsup/cygwin/dcrt0.cc @@ -665,10 +665,15 @@ child_info_spawn::handle_spawn () ready (true); - /* Need to do this after debug_fixup_after_fork_exec or DEBUGGING handling of + /* Keep pointer to parent open if we've execed so that pid will not be reused. + Otherwise, we no longer need this handle so close it. + Need to do this after debug_fixup_after_fork_exec or DEBUGGING handling of handles might get confused. */ - CloseHandle (child_proc_info->parent); - child_proc_info->parent = NULL; + if (type != _CH_EXEC) + { + CloseHandle (child_proc_info->parent); + child_proc_info->parent = NULL; + } signal_fixup_after_exec (); fixup_lockf_after_exec (); diff --git a/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc b/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc index a13100cfc..daed1cc7b 100644 --- a/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc +++ b/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc @@ -77,11 +77,6 @@ pinfo::thisproc (HANDLE h) else if (!child_proc_info) /* child_proc_info is only set when this process was started by another cygwin process */ procinfo->start_time = time (NULL); /* Register our starting time. */ - else if (::cygheap->pid_handle) - { - ForceCloseHandle (::cygheap->pid_handle); - ::cygheap->pid_handle = NULL; - } } /* Initialize the process table entry for the current task. @@ -305,8 +300,9 @@ pinfo::init (pid_t n, DWORD flag, HANDLE h0) bool created = shloc != SH_JUSTOPEN; - if ((procinfo->process_state & PID_INITIALIZING) && (flag & PID_NOREDIR) - && cygwin_pid (procinfo->dwProcessId) != procinfo->pid) + if ((procinfo->process_state & PID_REAPED) + || ((procinfo->process_state & PID_INITIALIZING) && (flag & PID_NOREDIR) + && cygwin_pid (procinfo->dwProcessId) != procinfo->pid)) { set_errno (ESRCH); break; diff --git a/winsup/cygwin/release/1.7.15 b/winsup/cygwin/release/1.7.15 index 43eb9b56b..4e9e64090 100644 --- a/winsup/cygwin/release/1.7.15 +++ b/winsup/cygwin/release/1.7.15 @@ -22,3 +22,8 @@ Bug fixes: - Avoid "WARNING: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer." message on Windows 8 Customer Preview 32 bit.
