Sorry for replying late. Thanks for your patch that removes task_lock(tsk). I made this patch against the mainline tree, and do_exit() in the mainline tree doesn't hold task_lock(tsk), so I took task_lock(tsk). But I didn't take notice that do_exit() in the mmotm tree had been changed, and I made this mistake. > Also, why was the inclusion of cpuset.h added?
