    [PATCH] sched: get rid of p->children use in show_task() · 35f6f753
    Ingo Molnar authored
    the p->parent PID printout gives us all the information about the
    task tree that we need - the eldest_child()/older_sibling()/
    younger_sibling() printouts are mostly historic and i do not
    remember ever having used those fields. (IMO in fact they confuse
    the SysRq-T output.) So remove them.
    
    This code has sentimental value though, those fields and
    printouts are one of the oldest ones still surviving from
    Linux v0.95's kernel/sched.c:
    
            if (p->p_ysptr || p->p_osptr)
                    printk("   Younger sib=%d, older sib=%d\n\r",
                            p->p_ysptr ? p->p_ysptr->pid : -1,
                            p->p_osptr ? p->p_osptr->pid : -1);
            else
                    printk("\n\r");
