Subject: [PATCH 06/11] coredump: In zap_threads complete startup if there is no need to wait
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 11:57:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pl1d8ck7.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87o6gx9rc4.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Fri, 26 Jun 2026 11:52:43 -0500")


Remove the need to test the value of core_waiters in coredump_wait by
completing core_state->startup when there is an error or there are no
other tasks to wait for.

This slightly simplifies the logic and prepares for moving zap_threads
out of coredump_wait.
