From 430c623121ea88ca80595c99fdc63b7f8a803ae5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 04:19:11 -0800 Subject: start the global /sbin/init with 0,0 special pids As Eric pointed out, there is no problem with init starting with sid == pgid == 0, and this was historical linux behavior changed in 2.6.18. Remove kernel_init()->__set_special_pids(), this is unneeded and complicates the rules for sys_setsid(). This change and the previous change in daemonize() mean that /sbin/init does not need the special "session != 1" hack in sys_setsid() any longer. We can't remove this check yet, we should cleanup copy_process(CLONE_NEWPID) first, so update the comment only. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: "Eric W.
