From b436069059fede30ca31d4bf439cc86436ff5b1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 15:38:43 -0700 Subject: wait: use EXIT_TRACE only if thread_group_leader(zombie) wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if ptrace_reparented(). This is suboptimal and a bit confusing: we do not need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p) and in this case we also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can rely on ptrace_release_task(). Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along with ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state transition.
