No, a break would be wrong: The test detects already dead tasks that are
still listed in the task list. If such a task is found, then it
shouldn't be listed in /proc/, but the readdir call should continue to
scan the task list.
But I don't understand the oops:
__exit_sighand clears current->sighand, and then in the next line
__unhash_process removes the thread from the task list. But that's under
write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock), and get_tid_list runs under
read_lock(&tasklist_lock). It should be impossible that ->sighand is
NULL and the task is still listed in the task list.
