https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203105 --- Comment #4 from Michael Kerrisk (mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx) --- So, I revisited this, and realized that I wrote the sentence against which you reported the bug. I hope that I was at that time thinking what I said in comment 3! However, I think it does not hurt to say even more in the manual page, so I amended it further to say: Store the child thread ID at the location ctid in the child's memory. The store operation completes before clone() returns control to user space in the child process. (Note that the store operation may not have completed before clone() returns in the parent process, which will be relevant if the CLONE_VM flag is also employed.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
