Re: [PATCH] pid_max hang again...

Searching for a free pid value and inserting the thread into the task
list should be atomic, otherwise the same pid value could be given to 2
threads.

do_fork runs without the BLK, you might have to search for the pid
within the write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock) block.
