The patch titled kill my_ptrace_child() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kill-my_ptrace_child.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: kill my_ptrace_child() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Now that my_ptrace_child() is trivial we can use the "p->ptrace & PT_PTRACED" inline and simplify the corresponding logic in do_wait: we can't find the child in TASK_TRACED state without PT_PTRACED flag set, ptrace_untrace() either sets TASK_STOPPED or wakes up the tracee.
