exit: reparent: avoid find_new_reaper() if no children
Now that pid_ns logic was isolated we can change forget_original_parent() to return right after find_child_reaper() when father->children is empty, there is nothing to reparent in this case. In particular this avoids find_alive_thread() and this can help if the whole process exits and it has a lot of PF_EXITING threads at the start of the thread list, this can easily lead to O(nr_threads ** 2) iterations. Trivial test case (tested under KVM, 2 CPUs): static void *tfunc(void *arg) { pause(); return NULL; } static int child(unsigned int nt) { pthread_t pt; while (nt--) assert(pthread_create(&pt, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0); pthread_kill(pt, SIGTRAP); pause(); return 0; } int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { int stat; unsigned int nf = atoi(argv[1]); unsigned int nt = atoi(argv[2]); while (nf--) { if (!fork()) return child(nt); wait(&stat); assert(stat == SIGTRAP); } return 0; } $ time ./test 16 16536 shows: real user sys - 5m37.628s 0m4.437s 8m5.560s + 0m50.032s 0m7.130s 1m4.927s Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Cc: "Eric W.
