God knows who can do list_for_each(->children) and expect to find the sub-threads. But this is obviously good optimization/simplification. It is just ugly to place sub-threads on ->children list, this buys nothing but slown downs do_wait(). (this was needed, afaics, to handle ptraced but not re-parented threads a long ago). > wait_consider_task-kill-parent-argument.patch > do_wait-fix-sys_waitid-specific-behaviour.patch > wait_noreap_copyout-check-for-wo_info-=-null.patch > > ptrace. Mostly-merge. Only the first patch is "ptrace" ;) Oleg. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
