Hello all, I'm reading through the code for do_exit() in exit.c and in the function exit_notify() i came across parent_exec_id & self_exec_id which indicates the execution domain. What is execution domain?? The exec_id of parent & child are same after a fork(). Is this related to, whether a parent and a child are executing the same code or not... what is the necessity of checking the exec_id's inside the do_exit() code? I'm talking of Linux kernel version 2.4.14. Pl. can someone throw some light on this... TIA. Ketan -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
