192 		 * because if any threads in the parent blocked on it
193 		 * between the initial lock and the fork() syscall,
194 		 * unlocking in the child will try to schedule
195 		 * threads, and either the internal mutex interlock or
196 		 * the runqueue spinlock could have been held at the
197 		 * moment of fork(). Since the other threads do not
198 		 * exist in this process, the spinlock will never be
199 		 * unlocked, and we would wedge.
200 		 * Instead, we reinitialize atfork_lock, since we know
201 		 * that the state of the atfork lists is consistent here,
202 		 * and that there are no other threads to be affected by
203 		 * the forcible cleaning of the queue.
204 		 * This permits double-forking to work, although
205 		 * it requires knowing that it's "safe" to initialize
206 		 * a locked mutex in this context.
207 		 *
208 		 * The problem exists for users of this interface,
209 		 * too, since the intended use of pthread_atfork() is
210 		 * to acquire locks across the fork call to ensure
211 		 * that the child sees consistent state. There's not
212 		 * much that can usefully be done in a child handler,
213 		 * and conventional wisdom discourages using them, but
214 		 * they're part of the interface, so here we are...
