This patch fixes all the preempt-after-task->state-is-TASK_DEAD problems we had. Right now, the moment procfs does a down() that sleeps in proc_pid_flush() [it could] our TASK_DEAD state is zapped and we might be back to TASK_RUNNING to and we trigger this assert: schedule(); BUG(); /* Avoid "noreturn function does return". */ for (;;) ; I have split out TASK_ZOMBIE and TASK_DEAD into a separate p->exit_state field, to allow the detaching of exit-signal/parent/wait-handling from descheduling a dead task. Dead-task freeing is done via PF_DEAD. Tested the patch on x86 SMP and UP, but all architectures should work fine.
