Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/4] cputimers: make sure thread_group_cputime() can't count the same thread twice lockless
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 20:13:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100329181329.GC16356@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100329181204.GA16356@redhat.com>
- change __exit_signal() to do __unhash_process() before we accumulate
the counters in ->signal
- add a couple of barriers into thread_group_cputime() and __exit_signal()
to make sure thread_group_cputime() can never account the same thread
twice if it races with exit.
If any thread T was already accounted in ->signal, next_thread() or
pid_alive() must see the result of __unhash_process(T).
