Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kill_something_info: misc cleanups
Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2006 23:05:10 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061216200510.GA5535@tv-sign.ru> (raw)

On top of
	signal-rewrite-kill_something_info-so-it-uses-newer-helpers.patch

- Factor out sending PIDTYPE_PGID wide signals.

- Use is_init(p) instead of "p->pid > 1". We don't hash idle threads anymore,
  no need to worry about p->pid == 0.

- Use "p != current->group_leader" instead of "p->tgid != current->tgid",
  saves one dereference and kills yet another direct pid_t usage.

- Simplify return value calculation for "pid == -1" case, remove "retval"
  variable.

No functional changes.
