[PATCH] copy_process: cosmetic ->ioprio tweak
copy_process: // holds tasklist_lock + ->siglock /* * inherit ioprio */ p->ioprio = current->ioprio; Why? ->ioprio was already copied in dup_task_struct(). I guess this is needed to ensure that the child can't escape sys_ioprio_set(IOPRIO_WHO_{PGRP,USER}), yes? In that case we don't need ->siglock held, and the comment should be updated.
