Subject: [PATCH] Prevent reuse of active thread group id
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 10:35:04 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87110000.998321704@baldur> (raw)


The thread group id of a task is initially assigned the value of that 
task's pid, then is inherited for each child task created with 
CLONE_THREAD.  This patch makes sure that the thread group id is never 
re-used as another task's pid as long as there's an active task with that 
tgid.

Patch is below.
