Subject: [PATCH 8/12] pid: Replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphaned
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 04:07:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11660080783930-git-send-email-ebiederm@xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m1y7pcoy5w.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com>

Every call to is_orphaned_pgrp passed in process_group(current)
which is racy with respect to another thread changing our process
group.  It didn't bite us because we were dealing with integers
and the worse we would get would be a stale answer.

In switching the checks to use struct pid to be a little more
efficient and prepare the way for pid namespaces this
race became apparent.

So I simplified the calls to the more specialized is_current_pgrp_orphaned
so I didn't have to worry about making logic changes to avoid the race.
