From: Greg KH <gre...@linuxfoundation.org> 3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Anton Blanchard <an...@samba.org> commit 1021cb268b3025573c4811f1dee4a11260c4507b upstream. If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit. We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from the parent which ends up being much simpler.
