From 482a3767e5087f6e6ad2486a6655aaa5f3d59301 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:55:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] exit: reparent: call forget_original_parent() under tasklist_lock Shift "release dead children" loop from forget_original_parent() to its caller, exit_notify(). It is safe to reap them even if our parent reaps us right after we drop tasklist_lock, those children no longer have any connection to the exiting task. And this allows us to avoid write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) right after it was released by forget_original_parent(), we can simply call it with tasklist_lock held. While at it, move the comment about forget_original_parent() up to this function. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Aaron Tomlin Cc: "Eric W.
