From 64a4096c5cdab377b6e1f44008ee8b2636db579d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 12:47:32 -0700 Subject: ptrace: ptrace_detach() can no longer race with SIGKILL ptrace_detach() re-checks ->ptrace under tasklist lock and calls release_task() if __ptrace_detach() returns true. This was needed because the __TASK_TRACED tracee could be killed/untraced, and it could even pass exit_notify() before we take tasklist_lock. But this is no longer possible after 9899d11f6544 "ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL". We can turn these checks into WARN_ON() and remove release_task(). While at it, document the setting of child->exit_code.
