Confused. Which patch causes the hang? They should be applied in reverse order,

	do_wait-wakeup-optimization-change-__wake_up_parent-to-use-filtered-wakeup-selinux_bprm_committed_creds-use-__wake_up_parent.patch
	do_wait-wakeup-optimization-change-__wake_up_parent-to-use-filtered-wakeup.patch

Hmm, very strange. How can I reproduce?

When the child (2713) exits and the parent hangs, could you send
me the content of /proc/parent_pid/status?

OK, suppose that due to the patch above we lost the notification.
But, wait4 returns -ECHILD, who reaped this child???

What does "$ ps CHILD_PID" say? /proc/child_pid/status please?
