[PATCH] simplify/fix first_tid()
first_tid:
/* If nr exceeds the number of threads there is nothing todo */
if (nr) {
if (nr >= get_nr_threads(leader))
goto done;
}
This is not reliable: sub-threads can exit after this check, so the
'for' loop below can overlap and proc_task_readdir() can return an
already filldir'ed dirents.
for (; pos && pid_alive(pos); pos = next_thread(pos)) {
if (--nr > 0)
continue;
Off-by-one error, will return 'leader' when nr == 1.
This patch tries to fix these problems and simplify the code.
