From 62c124ff3bcdb414af635c2bf822c9e4f2a5abfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2011 11:14:00 +0200 Subject: ptrace: use bit_waitqueue for TRAPPING instead of wait_chldexit ptracer->signal->wait_chldexit was used to wait for TRAPPING; however, ->wait_chldexit was already complicated with waker-side filtering without adding TRAPPING wait on top of it. Also, it unnecessarily made TRAPPING clearing depend on the current ptrace relationship - if the ptracee is detached, wakeup is lost. There is no reason to use signal->wait_chldexit here. We're just waiting for JOBCTL_TRAPPING bit to clear and given the relatively infrequent use of ptrace, bit_waitqueue can serve it perfectly. This patch makes JOBCTL_TRAPPING wait use bit_waitqueue instead of signal->wait_chldexit. -v2: Use JOBCTL_*_BIT macros instead of ilog2() as suggested by Linus.
