Subject: [PATCH] fix signal->live leak in copy_process()
Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2005 19:37:40 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43639744.94BA6AA4@tv-sign.ru> (raw)

[PATCH] fix ->signal->live leak in copy_process()

exit_signal() (called from copy_process's error path) should decrement
->signal->live, otherwise forking process will miss 'group_dead' in
do_exit().
