Hi ,
I have the following questions regarding reparenting in exit.c
Reparenting is done in forget_original_parent.
1. One question that I have is why don't we reparent the children to the
parent of the dying process rather than reparent it to some other process in
the process group.
2. Is there a potential bug in the function. While we are trying to
reaparent the children of the dying process that process also dies. Should
the function reparent all childrens of a dying process to the init instead,
to avoid this race condition.
thanks
gaurav
