      [PATCH] Call exit_itimers from do_exit, not __exit_signal · 25f407f0
      Roland McGrath authored
      When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only
      place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group
      dying, without races.  Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live
      counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work.
      
      This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks.  This
      avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks
      about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.
      
      [ This replaces e03d13e9, which is why
        it was just reverted. ]
