[PATCH] do_coredump() should reset group_stop_count earlier
__group_complete_signal() sets ->group_stop_count in sig_kernel_coredump() path and marks the target thread as ->group_exit_task. So any thread except group_exit_task will go to handle_group_stop()->finish_stop(). However, when group_exit_task actually starts do_coredump(), it sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, but does not reset ->group_stop_count while killing other threads. If we have not yet stopped threads in the same thread group, they all will spin in kernel mode until group_exit_task sends them SIGKILL, because ->group_stop_count > 0 means: recalc_sigpending_tsk() never clears TIF_SIGPENDING get_signal_to_deliver() goes to handle_group_stop() handle_group_stop() returns when SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT set syscall_exit/resume_userspace notice TIF_SIGPENDING, call get_signal_to_deliver() again. So we are wasting cpu cycles, and if one of these threads is rt_task() this may be a serious problem. NOTE: do_coredump() holds ->mmap_sem, so not stopped threads can't escape coredumping after clearing ->group_stop_count.
