ngx_parent in ngx_daemon() can not work properly?

Description

In function ngx_daemon(), after fork the child would run

ngx_parent = ngx_pid;

But the parent process will call exit(0) and terminate, so the init process will be the parent of the master process, cause the var ngx_parent to be nonsense.

Should we call get_ppid() in ngx_master_process_cycle() to get the proper parent?

Thanks.

The ngx_parent variable is expected to contain PID or original parent process, and used to check if parent process is already exited or not.
