Subject: [PATCH 4/3] start the global /sbin/init with 0,0 special pids
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:59:48 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071127135948.GA8370@tv-sign.ru> (raw)

As Eric pointed out, there is no problem with init starting with sid == pgid
== 0, and this was historical linux behavior changed in 2.6.18.

Remove kernel_init()->__set_special_pids().

This change and the previous change in daemonize() mean that /sbin/init does
not need the special "session != 1" hack in sys_setsid() any longer. We can't
remove this check yet, we should cleanup copy_process(CLONE_NEWPID) first, so
update the comment only.
