From d359b549bf3d7f42f0084918a4816ea4572e507c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:00:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] futex_find_get_task(): don't take tasklist_lock It is ok to do find_task_by_pid() + get_task_struct() under rcu_read_lock(), we cand drop tasklist_lock. Note that testing of ->exit_state is racy with or without tasklist anyway.
