From 5b160f5ecd2f1b6df2e0015dc1f319c8ef803d62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:00:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] copy_process: cosmetic ->ioprio tweak copy_process: // holds tasklist_lock + ->siglock /* * inherit ioprio */ p->ioprio = current->ioprio; Why? ->ioprio was already copied in dup_task_struct(). I guess this is needed to ensure that the child can't escape sys_ioprio_set(IOPRIO_WHO_{PGRP,USER}), yes? In that case we don't need ->siglock held, and the comment should be updated.
