Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2010 12:48:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Roland McGrath <roland@...hat.com> To: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@...il.com>, "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@...ssion.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH -mm 1/3] proc: get_nr_threads() doesn't need ->siglock any longer Acked-by: Roland McGrath <roland@...hat.com> I'm not entirely sure about the name, but it's probably fine. There should be some comments somewhere making clear what "nr" or kind of threads this refers to. This is threads created and not yet reaped. It differs from the "threads not yet exited" (signal->live) count only during some races around exit time, and when ptrace is preventing self-reaping.
