execution domain!!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




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
