From a122b341b74c08020f6521b615acca6a692aac79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 16:11:22 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] do_signal_stop: don't take tasklist_lock do_signal_stop() does not need tasklist_lock anymore. So it does not need to do misc re-checks, and we can simplify the code.
