Subject: do_wait: cleanup delay_group_leader() usage
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~225
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=96fabbf55ae79826f2e8a86f4066d7e8834315ae;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

do_wait: cleanup delay_group_leader() usage

eligible_child() == 2 means delay_group_leader().  With the previous patch
this only matters for EXIT_ZOMBIE task, we can move that special check to
the only place it is really needed.

Also, with this patch we don't skip security_task_wait() for the group
leaders in a non-empty thread group.  I don't really understand the exact
semantics of security_task_wait(), but imho this change is a bugfix.

Also rearrange the code a bit to kill an ugly "check_continued" backdoor.
