Subject: [PATCH 2/2] change next_thread() to use __next_thread() ?: group_leader
Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2023 16:32:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230824143201.GB31222@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230824143112.GA31208@redhat.com>

This relies on fact that group leader is always the 1st entry in the
signal->thread_head list.

With or without this change, if the lockless next_thread(last_thread)
races with exec it can return the old or the new leader.

We are almost ready to kill task->thread_group, after this change its
only user is thread_group_empty().
