Subject: ptrace: introduce ptrace_reparented() helper
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~264
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=53b6f9fbd3b63af14b4f6268e8b5b80d178d05bc;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

ptrace: introduce ptrace_reparented() helper

Add another trivial helper for the sake of grep.  It also auto-documents the
fact that ->parent != real_parent implies ->ptrace.

No functional changes.
