[PATCH 10/26] ptrace: Simplify ptrace_detach & exit_ptrace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Call __ptrace_unlink not __ptrace_detach.  As it is guaranteed that
ptrace_detach will never be called on a process that has or may exit.

Rename __ptrace_detach __exit_ptrace as exit_ptrace is now it's only
caller and the corrected name is less confusing.
