It is not clear to me what do_wait() should do with ->autoreap child, even

Just suppose that real_parent has a single "autoreap" child. Should
wait(NULL) hanf then?

It should ignore the child that is set to autoreap. wait(NULL) should return -
ECHILD, indicating there are no children waiting to be reaped.

But now I realise that this might have implications for session management and 
job control.

If yes, who will wake the parent up?

If no, I do not see the necessary changes in wait_cosnider_task().
