[PATCH] fix zap_thread's ptrace related problems

5ecfbae0 · Oleg Nesterov <[email protected]> · 2006-02-15 22:50:10 +03:00

1. The tracee can go from ptrace_stop() to do_signal_stop()
   after __ptrace_unlink(p).

2. It is unsafe to __ptrace_unlink(p) while p->parent may wait
   for tasklist_lock in ptrace_detach().
