pidfd: Add warning if exit_state is 0 during notification
Previously a condition got missed where the pidfd waiters are awakened before the exit_state gets set. This can result in a missed notification [1] and the polling thread waiting forever. It is fixed now, however it would be nice to avoid this kind of issue going unnoticed in the future. So just add a warning to catch it in the future. /* References */ [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190717172100.261204-1-joel@joelfernandes.org/ Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190724164816.201099-1-joel@joelfernandes.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian@brauner.io>
