From f400e198b2ed26ce55b22a1412ded0896e7516ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:00:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] pidspace: is_init() This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
