THREADGROUP_CHANGE_B(9) | Driver Basics | THREADGROUP_CHANGE_B(9) |
NAME¶
threadgroup_change_begin - mark the beginning of changes to a threadgroup
SYNOPSIS¶
void threadgroup_change_begin(struct task_struct * tsk);
ARGUMENTS¶
tsk
task causing the changes
DESCRIPTION¶
All operations which modify a threadgroup - a new thread joining the group, death of a member thread (the assertion of PF_EXITING) and exec(2) dethreading the process and replacing the leader - are wrapped by threadgroup_change_{begin|end}(). This is to provide a place which subsystems needing threadgroup stability can hook into for synchronization.
