From 818411616baf46ceba0cff6f05af3a9b294734f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyrill Gorcunov Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 16:26:43 -0700 Subject: fs, proc: introduce /proc//task//children entry When we do checkpoint of a task we need to know the list of children the task, has but there is no easy and fast way to generate reverse parent->children chain from arbitrary (while a parent pid is provided in "PPid" field of /proc//status). So instead of walking over all pids in the system (creating one big process tree in memory, just to figure out which children a task has) -- we add explicit /proc//task//children entry, because the kernel already has this kind of information but it is not yet exported. This is a first level children, not the whole process tree.
