[PATCH] sched: get rid of p->children use in show_task()
the p->parent PID printout gives us all the information about the task tree that we need - the eldest_child()/older_sibling()/ younger_sibling() printouts are mostly historic and i do not remember ever having used those fields. (IMO in fact they confuse the SysRq-T output.) So remove them. This code has sentimental value though, those fields and printouts are one of the oldest ones still surviving from Linux v0.95's kernel/sched.c: if (p->p_ysptr || p->p_osptr) printk(" Younger sib=%d, older sib=%d\n\r", p->p_ysptr ? p->p_ysptr->pid : -1, p->p_osptr ? p->p_osptr->pid : -1); else printk("\n\r"); written 15 years ago, in early 1992.
