Damn. Tomorrow (I promise ;) I'll send the full series. IMHO, we really
need to cleanup the do_notify_parent/task_detached logic, and exit_signal
should be "const"
But, to remove this tracehook, we only need the patch below and then
exit_notify() should do:
if (unlikely(tsk->ptrace)) {
int sig = ptrace_reparented(tsk) || task_detached(tsk) ?
SIGCHLD : tsk->exit_signal;
autoreap = do_notify_parent(tsk, sig);
WARN_ON(autoreap);
} else if (thread_group_leader(tsk)) {
autoreap = thread_group_empty(tsk) &&
do_notify_parent(tsk, tsk->exit_signal);
} else {
autoreap = true;
}
tsk->exit_state = autoreap ? EXIT_DEAD : EXIT_ZOMBIE;
Note the WARN_ON() above, perhaps instead we should autoreap if the
tracer is the real parent and it ignores SIGCHLD.
And. ptrace_reparented() should be changed to check same_thread_group(),
I think. This also looks fine for wait_task_zombie().
Oleg.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[PATCH 3/XXX] make do_notify_parent() return bool
- change do_notify_parent() to return a boolean, true if the task should
be reaped because its parent ignores SIGCHLD.
- update the only caller which checks the returned value, exit_notify(),
to rely DEATH_REAP only if we do not call do_notify_parent().
This temporary uglifies exit_notify() even more, will be cleanuped by
the next change.
