Subject: [PATCH] exit: kill unnecessary thread_group_leader() checks in exit_notify() and do_notify_parent()
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 16:23:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aZsfeegKZPZZszJh@redhat.com> (raw)
thread_group_empty(tsk) is only possible if tsk is a group leader, and
thread_group_empty() already does the thread_group_leader() check.
So it makes no sense to check "thread_group_leader() && thread_group_empty()";
thread_group_empty() alone is enough.
