Subject: [PATCH 3/5] wait: use EXIT_TRACE only if thread_group_leader(zombie)
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:39:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140220173905.GA21856@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140220173838.GA21825@redhat.com>
wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if
ptrace_reparented(). This is suboptimal and a bit confusing:
we do not need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p)
and in this case we also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can
rely on ptrace_release_task().
Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along
with ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state
transition.
