[PATCH] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()
task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent. However task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order 1) release_task(task) 2) release_task(task->parent) 3) a grace period passed But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive() can't be true in such a case. Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.
