2001-05-21 Thread Seigo Tanimura
For now, p_mtx protects p_pgrp in struct proc. This is quite troublesome for the following reason: In some cases, we grab a p_pgrp via struct proc in order to, say, access the session information of the process group. In other cases, we traverse the members of a process group in order to, say, se
