Cover letter [PATCH 0/4] make vfork() killable
Quoted 3 lines · Oleg Nesterov
Btw, there is another example of "unbounded" sleep in UNINTERRUPTIBLE, vfork. I already have the patches, will send today.
Make vfork() killable, please apply.
These patches are old (Aug 2011), they spent a lot of time in linux-next without any problem. Linus participated in the discussion, iiuc he has no objections.
The next step is make vfork() stoppable/traceable.
Oleg.
