Subject: [PATCH -mm 1/1] proc: turn signal_struct->count into "int nr_threads"
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 18:49:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100324174936.GA21534@redhat.com> (raw)
No functional changes, just s/atomic_t count/int nr_threads/.
With the recent changes this counter has a single user, get_nr_threads()
And, none of its callers need the really accurate number of threads, not
to mention each caller obviously races with fork/exit. It is only used
to report this value to the user-space, except first_tid() uses it to
avoid the unnecessary while_each_thread() loop in the unlikely case.
It is a bit sad we need a word in struct signal_struct for this, perhaps
we can change get_nr_threads() to approximate the number of threads using
signal->live and kill ->nr_threads later.
