[PATCH] tgid fixes for filp->f_owner.pid assignments

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Shouldn't the f_owner.pid of the "file" structure hold the process id
("tgid" field of task_struct) as opposed to the thread id ("pid" field
of task_struct)?

If agreed, the patch below fixes the obvious places.  It seems to be
used for determining how to post SIGIO signals.  With current code,
in a multi-threaded process, I think only the thread arming the SIGIO
gets the signal, whereas it seems that the whole thread group should
be signaled.

This has only been compile-tested.

Cheers.  -ernie
