Subject: [PATCH 2/3] signals: de_thread: simplify the ->child_reaper switching
Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2008 16:06:49 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080323130649.GA239@tv-sign.ru> (raw)

Now that we rely on SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag, de_thread() doesn't need the nasty
hack to kill the old ->child_reaper during the mt-exec.

This also means we can avoid taking tasklist_lock around zap_other_threads().
