[PATCH] proc: convert do_task_stat() to use lock_task_sighand()
Drop tasklist_lock. ->siglock protects almost all interesting data
(including sub-threads traversal) except:
->signal->tty
protected by tty_mutex
->real_parent
the task can't be unhashed while we are holding
->siglock, so ->real_parent can change from under us
but we can safely dereference it under rcu_read_lock()
->pgrp/->session
we can get inconsistent numbers if the task does
sys_setsid/daemonize at the same time. I hope this
is acceptable.
