Subject: [RFC PATCH 07/24] fork: expose vfork completion helper
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 22:31:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <daf1064397a3f3ccd11f65f07683edf493e4a435.1784204592.git.me@linux.beauty> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1784204592.git.me@linux.beauty>
Allow process builders that call copy_process() directly to attach and
wait for the existing vfork completion without duplicating its signal
and task-reference handling.
Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5.6-sol
