Subject: Splitting task-group stuff from task_struct
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2004 21:18:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <28551.1092860324@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi Linus, Andrew,
Would you have any objection to task-group specific stuff being split from the
task_struct and placed into a refcounted structure of its own and shared upon
CLONE_THREAD.
The fields I'm thinking of include:
struct linux_binfmt *binfmt
unsigned long personality
pid_t tgid
struct task_struct *group_leader
u32 parent_exec_id;
u32 self_exec_id;
Should process credentials be shared?
I could then add the process/session keyring pointers from my patch to it too.
David
