From 3147d8aaa03eac0e68742621e8f05323459aa37d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 18:53:09 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] proc: Use PIDTYPE_TGID in next_tgid Combine the pid_task and thes test has_group_leader_pid into a single dereference by using pid_task(PIDTYPE_TGID). This makes the code simpler and proof against needing to even think about any shenanigans that de_thread might get up to. Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
