From b3ab03160dfaf8ab78d476b670de319f4c1a5685 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 15:38:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] wait: completely ignore the EXIT_DEAD tasks Now that EXIT_DEAD is the terminal state it doesn't make sense to call eligible_child() or security_task_wait() if the task is really dead.
