| |
find_new_reaper() changes pid_ns->child_reaper, see add0d4df "pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing".
The original reason has gone away after the previous patch, ->children list must be empty after zap_pid_ns_processes().
However now we can not switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper. __unhash_process() relies on the "->child_reaper == parent" check, but this check does not work if the last exiting task is also the child reaper.
As Eric sugested, we can change __unhash_process() to use the parent's pid_ns and remove this code.
Also, with this change we can move detach_pid(PIDTYPE_PID) back, where it was before the previous fix.
