Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/4] pid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exits
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:33:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080826233353.GA21052@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080824154912.GA3780@tv-sign.ru>

I was able to repro the problem without the patchset and could  not
reproduce  with the patchset. But just had a quick question while
reviewing the patches.

If the task was reparented, then with patch 1/4 its parent would be
the global init (init_pid_ns.child_reaper) right ?

If above is true, then even if the main thread's nsproxy is NULL, does
it affect the reparented task ?
