From: Cyrill Gorcunov Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 05:44:57 +0000 (+1000) Subject: fs, proc: introduce /proc//task//children entry X-Git-Tag: next-20120503~2^2~17 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac2306d81ee2fc64a8356b41774f4838c29759f1;p=karo-tx-linux.git fs, proc: introduce /proc//task//children entry When we do checkpoint of a task we need to know the list of children the task, has but there is no easy and fast way to generate reverse parent->children chain from arbitrary (while a parent pid is provided in "PPid" field of /proc//status). So instead of walking over all pids in the system (creating one big process tree in memory, just to figure out which children a task has) -- we add explicit /proc//task//children entry, because the kernel already has this kind of information but it is not yet exported. This is a first level children, not the whole process tree.
