The patch titled Assign task_struct.exit_code before taskstats_exit() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is assign-task_structexit_code-before-taskstats_exit.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: Assign task_struct.exit_code before taskstats_exit() From: Jonathan Lim <jlim@xxxxxxx> taskstats.ac_exitcode is assigned to task_struct.exit_code in bacct_add_tsk() through the following kernel function calls: do_exit() taskstats_exit() fill_pid() bacct_add_tsk() The problem is that in do_exit(), task_struct.exit_code is set to 'code' only after taskstats_exit() has been called. So we need to move the assignment before taskstats_exit().
