From: Leonardo Bras <leobras@xxxxxxxxxx> Current approach will only join threads that are still running. For the threads not joined, resources or private memory are always kept in the process space and never reclaimed before process end, and this risks serious memory leaks. This should usually not represent a big problem, since multifd migration is usually just ran at most a few times, and after it succeeds there is not much to be done before exiting the process. Yet still, it should not hurt performance to join all of them.
