exit: make setting exit_state consistent
Since commit b191d649 ("pidfd: fix a poll race when setting exit_state") we unconditionally set exit_state to EXIT_ZOMBIE before calling into do_notify_parent(). This was done to eliminate a race when querying exit_state in do_notify_pidfd(). Back then we decided to do the absolute minimal thing to fix this and not touch the rest of the exit_notify() function where exit_state is set. Since this fix has not caused any issues change the setting of exit_state to EXIT_DEAD in the autoreap case to account for the fact hat exit_state is set to EXIT_ZOMBIE unconditionally. This fix was planned but also explicitly requested in [1] and makes the whole code more consistent. /* References */ [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wigcxGFR2szue4wavJtH5cYTTeNES=toUBVGsmX0rzX+g@mail.gmail.comSigned-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian@brauner.io> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
