do_notify_parent

• task는 죽으면, 모든 resource를 release하지않고 왜 죽었는지 정도를 남겨둔다.
• 그 정보는 부모 task에서 자식의 죽음을 이용할때, 회수한다 예를 들면 join()
• do_noitfy_parent 는 task가 죽을때, 죽는 task의 부모에게 자식의 죽음을 알려주기 위한 함수이다
• do_notify_pidfd() 는 죽는 task의 FD에 대해서 죽는 event를 기다리는 task들을 깨워준다
• sig ID가 SIGCHLD가 아니더라도, parent == real_parent인 경우에는 sig ID를 SIGCHLD 로 바꿔준다.
• task->exit_code를 통해서 parent에게 왜 task가 죽었는지를 전달해준다, (info.si_code)
• 부모가 SIGCHLD 시그널을 받는다면, 부모에게 알려준다, __send_signal_locked().
• 만약 부모가 SIGCHLD 에 대해서 시그널을 안 받겠다고 해놨다면 (psig->action[SIGCHLD-1].sa.sa_handler == SIG_IGN), 부모에게 알려주지않고 do_exit()에서 자체적으로 resource를 release한다
• 부모가 SIGCHLD를 안 받겠다고했지만, 부모가 자식의 죽음을 조사하는 과정에서 wait/blocked되어있는 race condition상황을 대비해서 부모를 깨워준다 (__wake_up_parent).
  
  • 이 부분에 대해서 한번 확인해볼 필요가 있음. 20년 전 코드가 아직도 유효하고 필요한지.
