The patch titled __group_complete_signal: eliminate unneeded wakeup of ->group_exit_task has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is __group_complete_signal-eliminate-unneeded-wakeup-of-group_exit_task.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: __group_complete_signal: eliminate unneeded wakeup of ->group_exit_task From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cleanup. __group_complete_signal() wakes up ->group_exit_task twice. The second wakeup's state includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, which is not very appropriate. Change the code to pass the "correct" argument to signal_wake_up() and kill now unneeded wake_up_process().
