From f106eee10038c2ee5b6056aaf3f6d5229be6dcdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 14:44:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] pids: fix fork_idle() to setup ->pids correctly copy_process(pid => &init_struct_pid) doesn't do attach_pid/etc. It shouldn't, but this means that the idle threads run with the wrong pids copied from the caller's task_struct. In x86 case the caller is either kernel_init() thread or keventd. In particular, this means that after the series of cpu_up/cpu_down an idle thread (which never exits) can run with .pid pointing to nowhere. Change fork_idle() to initialize idle->pids[] correctly. We only set .pid = &init_struct_pid but do not add .node to list, INIT_TASK() does the same for the boot-cpu idle thread (swapper).
