From a872ff0cb2218dc9688b990c5ccda064dc40946b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:26:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] simplify/fix first_tid() first_tid: /* If nr exceeds the number of threads there is nothing todo */ if (nr) { if (nr >= get_nr_threads(leader)) goto done; } This is not reliable: sub-threads can exit after this check, so the 'for' loop below can overlap and proc_task_readdir() can return an already filldir'ed dirents. for (; pos && pid_alive(pos); pos = next_thread(pos)) { if (--nr > 0) continue; Off-by-one error, will return 'leader' when nr == 1. This patch tries to fix these problems and simplify the code. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W.
