Yeah, that's not supposed to be so. JOBCTL_TRACED is supposed to follow __TASK_TRACED for now. Set when __TASK_TRACED, cleared when TASK_RUNNING. Specifically {ptrace_,}signal_wake_up() in signal.h clear JOBCTL_TRACED when they would wake a __TASK_TRACED task. > [ 86.218554] kill_chi-343805 6d.... 79990141us : ptrace_stop: state 8 > [ 86.218558] kill_chi-343805 6d.... 79990142us : signal_generate: sig=17 errno=0 code=4 comm=strace pid=300542 grp=1 res=1 > [ 86.218562] kill_chi-343805 6d.... 79990142us : sched_stat_runtime: comm=kill_child pid=343805 runtime=2135 [ns] vruntime=556109013931 [ns] > [ 86.218566] strace-300542 7..... 79990142us : wait_task_inactive: NO MATCH: state 0, match_state 8, pid 343805 > [ 86.218570] kill_chi-343805 6d.... 79990142us : sched_switch: prev_comm=kill_child prev_pid=343805 prev_prio=120 prev_state=t ==>next_comm=swapper/6 next_pid=0 next_prio=120 >
