From 093a8e8aecd77b2799934996a55a6838e1e2b8f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2006 10:38:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] taskstats_tgid_free: fix usage taskstats_tgid_free() is called on copy_process's error path. This is wrong. IF (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD) We should not clear ->signal->taskstats, current uses it, it probably has a valid accumulated info. ELSE taskstats_tgid_init() set ->signal->taskstats = NULL, there is nothing to free. Move the callsite to __exit_signal(). We don't need any locking, entire thread group is exiting, nobody should have a reference to soon to be released ->signal.
