will_become_orphaned_pgrp: partially fix insufficient ->exit_state check
p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have sub-threads. Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)" instead. Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process if the main thread has exited. However, the new check is not perfect either. There is a window when exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task(). Suppose that the last (non-leader) thread exits. This means that entire group exits, but thread_group_empty() is not true yet. As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not dare to do other changes. Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too. But we can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues. Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread. The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it. This is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
