From 0bdd2ed4138ec04e09b4f8165981efc99e439f55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2010 01:10:18 +0200 Subject: sched: run_posix_cpu_timers: Don't check ->exit_state, use lock_task_sighand() run_posix_cpu_timers() doesn't work if current has already passed exit_notify(). This was needed to prevent the races with do_wait(). Since ea6d290c ->signal is always valid and can't go away. We can remove the "tsk->exit_state == 0" in fastpath_timer_check() and convert run_posix_cpu_timers() to use lock_task_sighand(). Note: it makes sense to take group_leader's sighand instead, the sub-thread still uses CPU after release_task(). But we need more changes to do this.
