[patch 63/87] ptrace: kill __ptrace_detach(), fix ->exit_state check

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Jun 09 2009 - 06:32:37 EST


2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 95c3eb76dc07fd81289888ffc42948196b34b444 upstream.

Move the code from __ptrace_detach() to its single caller and kill this
helper.

Also, fix the ->exit_state check, we shouldn't wake up EXIT_DEAD tasks.
Actually, I think task_is_stopped_or_traced() makes more sense, but this
needs another patch.
