Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/2] ptrace_untrace: fix the SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED check
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:54:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090213105442.GA24328@redhat.com> (raw)

This bug is ancient too. ptrace_untrace() must not resume the task
if the group stop in progress, we should set TASK_STOPPED instead.

Unfortunately, we still have problems here:

	- if the process/thread was traced, SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
	  does not necessary means this thread group is stopped.

	- ptrace breaks the bookkeeping of ->group_stop_count.
