Bug ID: 32215
Summary: Signal handlers after fork may encounter missing
robust list
Product: glibc
Version: 2.41
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libc
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The fork system call in Linux does not preserve the robust list pointer from
the parent process. Linux does this to prevent double-unlocking because
userspace should clear the robust list first. We currently do not disable
signals around fork/_Fork (like we do for thread creation), so this
intermittent state (missing robust list registration) is observable by
applications.
