From 3e7cd6c413c9e6fbb5e1ee2acdadb4ababd2d474 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 00:52:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] pid: replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphaned Every call to is_orphaned_pgrp passed in process_group(current) which is racy with respect to another thread changing our process group. It didn't bite us because we were dealing with integers and the worse we would get would be a stale answer. In switching the checks to use struct pid to be a little more efficient and prepare the way for pid namespaces this race became apparent. So I simplified the calls to the more specialized is_current_pgrp_orphaned so I didn't have to worry about making logic changes to avoid the race. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
