Biederman" , "Metzger, Markus T" , Roland McGrath , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 2/4] forget_original_parent: do not abuse child->ptrace_entry Message-ID: <20090211211218.GA16850@redhat.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.18 (2008-05-17) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org By discussion with Roland. - Use ->sibling instead of ->ptrace_entry to chain the need to be release_task'd childs. Nobody else can use ->sibling, this task is EXIT_DEAD and nobody can find it on its own list. - rename ptrace_dead to dead_childs. - Now that we don't have the "parallel" untrace code, change back reparent_thread() to return void, pass dead_childs as an argument. Actually, I don't understand why do we notify /sbin/init when we reparent a zombie, probably it is better to reap it unconditionally.
