Subject: [PATCH] taskstats: fix sub-threads accounting
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 00:37:49 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061030213749.GA3035@oleg> (raw)

If there are no listeners, taskstats_exit_send() just returns because
taskstats_exit_alloc() didn't allocate *tidstats. This is wrong, each
sub-thread should do fill_tgid_exit() on exit, otherwise its ->delays
is not recorded in ->signal->stats and lost.

Q: We don't send TASKSTATS_TYPE_AGGR_TGID when single-threaded process
exits. Is it good? How can the listener figure out that it was actually
a process exit, not sub-thread?
