From 6e27f63edbd7ab893258e16500171dd1270a1369 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2012 14:59:14 -0800 Subject: vfork: kill PF_STARTING Previously it was (ab)used by utrace. Then it was wrongly used by the scheduler code. Currently it is not used, kill it before it finds the new erroneous user.
