From e49612544c695117644af48bb4625264a3d2918f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:27:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: don't take tasklist to get/set ->last_siginfo Change ptrace_getsiginfo/ptrace_setsiginfo to use lock_task_sighand() without tasklist_lock. Perhaps it makes sense to make a single helper with "bool rw" argument.
