This branch should probably be factored out into a helper of it's own: static int kill_this_group_info(int sig, struct siginfo *info) { struct task_struct *p; int ret = 0, found = 0; read_lock(&tasklist_lock); for_each_process(p) { if (!is_init(p) && p != current->group_leader) { int err = group_send_sig_info(sig, info, p); if (err != -EPERM) ret = err; found = 1; } } read_unlock(&tasklist_lock); if (!found) return -ESRCH; return found ? ret : -ESRCH; } > + } else { > + struct pid *grp = task_pgrp(current); > + if (pid != 0) > + grp = find_pid(-pid); > + ret = kill_pgrp_info(sig, info, grp); > + } This also looks rather unreadable, an } else if (pid) { ret = kill_pgrp_info(sig, info, find_pid(-pid)); } else { ret = kill_pgrp_info(sig, info, task_pgrp(current)); } might be slightly more code, but also a lot more readable. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
