173 * Note: We are explicitly *not* unlocking
174 * atfork_lock. Unlocking atfork_lock is problematic,
175 * because if any threads in the parent blocked on it
176 * between the initial lock and the fork() syscall,
177 * unlocking in the child will try to schedule
178 * threads, and either the internal mutex interlock or
179 * the runqueue spinlock could have been held at the
180 * moment of fork(). Since the other threads do not
181 * exist in this process, the spinlock will never be
182 * unlocked, and we would wedge.
183 * Instead, we reinitialize atfork_lock, since we know
184 * that the state of the atfork lists is consistent here,
185 * and that there are no other threads to be affected by
186 * the forcible cleaning of the queue.
187 * This permits double-forking to work, although
188 * it requires knowing that it's "safe" to initialize
189 * a locked mutex in this context.
191 * The problem exists for users of this interface,
192 * too, since the intented use of pthread_atfork() is
193 * to acquire locks across the fork call to ensure
194 * that the child sees consistent state. There's not
195 * much that can usefully be done in a child handler,
196 * and conventional wisdom discourages using them, but
197 * they're part of the interface, so here we are...
