Subject: [PATCH 1/4] reparent_thread: don't call kill_orphaned_pgrp() if task_detached()
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:05:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090129080555.GA26867@redhat.com> (raw)
If task_detached(p) == T, then either
a) p is not the main thread, we will find the group leader
on the ->children list.
or
b) p is the group leader but its ->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD.
This can only happen when the last sub-thread has died,
but in that case that thread has already called
kill_orphaned_pgrp() from exit_notify().
In both cases kill_orphaned_pgrp() looks bogus.
Move the task_detached() check up and simplify the code, this is also
right from the "common sense" pov: we should do nothing with the detached
childs, except move them to the new parent's ->children list.
