From 50d75f8daead8a1f850c40a3b6c6575ab19b48cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2012 12:53:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] pidns: find_new_reaper() can no longer switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper find_new_reaper() changes pid_ns->child_reaper, see add0d4df ("pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing"). The original reason has gone away after the previous patch, ->children list must be empty after zap_pid_ns_processes(). However now we can not switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper. __unhash_process() relies on the "->child_reaper == parent" check, but this check does not work if the last exiting task is also the child reaper. As Eric sugested, we can change __unhash_process() to use the parent's pid_ns and remove this code. Also, with this change we can move detach_pid(PIDTYPE_PID) back, where it was before the previous fix. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: "Eric W.
