Subject: wait_task_stopped: Check p->exit_state instead of TASK_TRACED
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc3~12
X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=a3474224e6a01924be40a8255636ea5522c1023a

wait_task_stopped: Check p->exit_state instead of TASK_TRACED

The original meaning of the old test (p->state > TASK_STOPPED) was
"not dead", since it was before TASK_TRACED existed and before the
state/exit_state split.  It was a wrong correction in commit
14bf01bb0599c89fc7f426d20353b76e12555308 to make this test for
TASK_TRACED instead.  It should have been changed when TASK_TRACED
was introducted and again when exit_state was introduced.
