Subject: [PATCH] introduce TASK_DEAD state
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c394cc9fbb367f87faa2228ec2eabacd2d4701c6;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] introduce TASK_DEAD state

I am not sure about this patch, I am asking Ingo to take a decision.

task_struct->state == EXIT_DEAD is a very special case, to avoid a confusion
it makes sense to introduce a new state, TASK_DEAD, while EXIT_DEAD should
live only in ->exit_state as documented in sched.h.

Note that this state is not visible to user-space, get_task_state() masks off
unsuitable states.
