Subject: forget_original_parent: do not abuse child->ptrace_entry
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5dfc80be73dd0c212d2e6dd8dbf5afa07e680bbe;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

forget_original_parent: do not abuse child->ptrace_entry

By discussion with Roland.

- Use ->sibling instead of ->ptrace_entry to chain the need to be
  release_task'd childs. Nobody else can use ->sibling, this task
  is EXIT_DEAD and nobody can find it on its own list.

- rename ptrace_dead to dead_childs.

- Now that we don't have the "parallel" untrace code, change back
  reparent_thread() to return void, pass dead_childs as an argument.

Actually, I don't understand why do we notify /sbin/init when we
reparent a zombie, probably it is better to reap it unconditionally.
