From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 12:19:07 +0000 (-0800) Subject: wait_task_zombie: remove ->exit_state/exit_signal checks for WNOWAIT X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c543f1ee08ea6c2176dbdc47df0d0f6357c88713;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git wait_task_zombie: remove ->exit_state/exit_signal checks for WNOWAIT The first "p->exit_state != EXIT_ZOMBIE" check doesn't make too much sense. The exit_state was EXIT_ZOMBIE when the function was called, and another thread can change it to EXIT_DEAD right after the check. The second condition is not possible, detached non-traced threads were already filtered out by eligible_child(), we didn't drop tasklist since then.
