A // `unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)` or `setns(fd_pidns/pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID)` will not have an effect // on the calling `Task`'s pid namespace. It will only effect the pid namespace of children // created by the calling `Task`. This invariant guarantees that after having acquired a // reference to a `Task`'s pid namespace it will remain unchanged. // // When a task has exited and been reaped `release_task()` will be called. This will set // the `PidNamespace` of the task to `NULL`. So retrieving the `PidNamespace` of a task // that is dead will return `NULL`. Note, that neither holding the RCU lock nor holding a // referencing count to // the `Task` will prevent `release_task()` being called. // // In order to retrieve the `PidNamespace` of a `Task` the `task_active_pid_ns()` function // can be used. There are two cases to consider: // // (1) retrieving the `PidNamespace` of the `current` task // (2) retrieving the `PidNamespace` of a non-`current` task // // From system call context retrieving the `PidNamespace` for case (1) is always safe and // requires neither RCU locking nor a reference count to be held. Retrieving the // `PidNamespace` after `release_task()` for current will return `NULL` but no codepath // like that is exposed to Rust. // // Retrieving the `PidNamespace` from system call context for (2) requires RCU protection. // Accessing `PidNamespace` outside of RCU protection requires a reference count that // must've been acquired while holding the RCU lock. Note that accessing a non-`current` // task means `NULL` can be returned as the non-`current` task could have already passed // through `release_task()`. // // To retrieve (1) the `current_pid_ns!()` macro should be used which ensure that the // returned `PidNamespace` cannot outlive the calling scope. The associated // `current_pid_ns()` function should not be called directly as it could be abused to // created an unbounded lifetime for `PidNamespace`. The `current_pid_ns!()` macro allows // Rust to handle the common case of accessing `current`'s `PidNamespace` without RCU // protection and without having to acquire a reference count. // // For (2) the `task_get_pid_ns()` method must be used. This will always acquire a // reference on `PidNamespace` and will return an `Option` to force the caller to // explicitly handle the case where `PidNamespace` is `None`, something that tends to be // forgotten when doing the equivalent operation in `C`. Missing RCU primitives make it // difficult to perform operations that are otherwise safe without holding a reference // count as long as RCU protection is guaranteed. But it is not important currently. But we // do want it in the future. // // Note for (2) the required RCU protection around calling `task_active_pid_ns()` // synchronizes against putting the last reference of the associated `struct pid` of // `task->thread_pid`. The `struct pid` stored in that field is used to retrieve the // `PidNamespace` of the caller. When `release_task()` is called `task->thread_pid` will be // `NULL`ed and `put_pid()` on said `struct pid` will be delayed in `free_pid()` via // `call_rcu()` allowing everyone with an RCU protected access to the `struct pid` acquired // from `task->thread_pid` to finish. // // SAFETY: The current task's pid namespace is valid as long as the current task is running. let pidns = unsafe { bindings::task_active_pid_ns(Task::current_raw()) }; PidNamespaceRef { // SAFETY: If the current thread is still running, the current task and its associated // pid namespace are valid. `PidNamespaceRef` is not `Send`, so we know it cannot be // transferred to another thread (where it could potentially outlive the current // `Task`).
