- * Accessing ->group_leader->real_parent is not SMP-safe, it could

- * NOTE! This depends on the fact that even if we _do_

- * the pointer (it was and remains a dereferencable kernel pointer
- * no matter what): we just can't necessarily trust the result
- * until we know that the parent pointer is valid.
