Subject[PATCH 2/2] mm: call complete_vfork_done() after clearing child_tid and flushing rss-counters
From
Date
Child should wake ups parent from vfork() only after finishing all operations with
shared mm. There is no sense to use CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID together with CLONE_VFORK,
but it looks more accurate now.
