When process opens a window, its pid and tgid will be saved in the vas_window struct. This window will be closed when the process exits. The kernel handles NX faults by updating CSB or send SEGV signal to pid of the process if the userspace csb addr is invalid. In multi-thread applications, a window can be opened by a child thread, but it will not be closed when this thread exits. It is expected that the parent will clean up all resources including NX windows opened by child threads. A child thread can send NX requests using this window and could be killed before completion is reported. If the pid assigned to this thread is reused while requests are pending, a failure SEGV would be directed to the wrong place. To prevent reusing the pid, take references to pid and mm when the window is opened and release them when when the window is closed. Then if child thread is not running, SEGV signal will be sent to thread group leader (tgid).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
