[PATCH 2/4] cgroup: remove redundant get/put of task struct

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

 



threadgroup_lock() guarantees that the target threadgroup will
remain stable - no new task will be added, no new PF_EXITING
will be set and exec won't happen.

Changes in V2:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/20/369 (Tejun Heo)
  * Undo incorrect removal of get/put from attach_task_by_pid()
* Author
  * Remove a comment which is made stale by this change
