Subject: [PATCH] Fix check for thread being a group leader in memcgroup
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:43:54 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47DA811A.8040704@openvz.org> (raw)

The check t->pid == t->pid is not the blessed way to check
whether a task is a group leader.

This is not about the code beautifulness only, but about 
pid namespaces fixes - both the tgid and the pid fields on 
the task_struct are (slowly :( ) becoming deprecated.

Besides, the thread_group_leader() macro makes only one
dereference :)
