Subject: [PATCH] taskstats: fix sub-threads accounting
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc5~110
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4a279ff1ea1cf325775ada983035123fcdc8e986;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] taskstats: fix sub-threads accounting

If there are no listeners, taskstats_exit_send() just returns because
taskstats_exit_alloc() didn't allocate *tidstats.  This is wrong, each
sub-thread should do fill_tgid_exit() on exit, otherwise its ->delays is
not recorded in ->signal->stats and lost.

Q: We don't send TASKSTATS_TYPE_AGGR_TGID when single-threaded process
exits.  Is it good?  How can the listener figure out that it was actually a
process exit, not sub-thread?
