Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: cleanup ptrace_init_task()->ptrace_link() path
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:56:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091029235656.GA26438@redhat.com> (raw)

No functional changes.

ptrace_init_task() looks confusing, as if we always auto-attach when
"bool ptrace" argument is true, while in fact we attach only if current
is traced.

Make the code more explicit and kill now unused ptrace_link().
