| |
Currently, a kernel thread is set to pgrp=session=1 after the clone call. This would be impossible for a normal process to do and is illegal according to the rules for process groups and sessions. Is there any reason that they have to do this? If not, I'd like to make them setsid() to avoid having to special-case them. This is already done in the pidhash patch.
