I don't care much, but that zero special case is definitely not a good idea. You might make the thing acceptable to me by just removing the "zero means everythign", and replacing that logic with if (!tgid) tgid = current->tgid; which is similar to how we handle zeroes in some other places. In other words, a zero is not a "wildcard", it means "_this_ thread group".
