[PATCH v10 24/27] scripts/gdb: Use a generator instead of iterator for task list

From: Jan Kiszka
Date: Thu Nov 20 2014 - 12:07:59 EST


From: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The iterator does not return any task_struct from the thread_group list
because the first condition in the 'if not t or ...' will only be the
first time None.

Instead of keeping track of the state ourself in the next() function,
we fall back using Python's generator.
