Subject: [PATCH] processes: reparent_thread: don't call kill_orphaned_pgrp() if task_detached()
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:28:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081120202848.GA27241@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081120200050.GA24467@redhat.com>

Needs an ack from someone who understands orphaned groups.

If task_detached(p) == T, then either

	a) p is not the main thread, we will find the group leader
	   on the ->children list.
or
	b) p is the group leader but its ->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD.
	   This can only happen when the last sub-thread has died,
	   but in that case that thread has already called
	   kill_orphaned_pgrp() from exit_notify().

In both cases kill_orphaned_pgrp() looks bogus.
