The patch titled Subject: exit: reparent: call forget_original_parent() under tasklist_lock has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was exit-reparent-call-forget_original_parent-under-tasklist_lock.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: exit: reparent: call forget_original_parent() under tasklist_lock Shift "release dead children" loop from forget_original_parent() to its caller, exit_notify(). It is safe to reap them even if our parent reaps us right after we drop tasklist_lock, those children no longer have any connection to the exiting task. And this allows us to avoid write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) right after it was released by forget_original_parent(), we can simply call it with tasklist_lock held. While at it, move the comment about forget_original_parent() up to this function. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Eric W.
