The process is synchronous if the task is not deleting itself?

I do not understand this last sentence. How does a task executing normally
disable it's task life protection?

What is task life protection?

Is the context when the task is not deleting itself?

I assume from above this is synchronous? When is the deleting task dispatched to
run?

It? What about:

 "The task termination procedure involves the destruction of POSIX
  key values and running the task termination user extensions."

What about SMP? If the calling task is deleting a task running on another core?

The language is hard here. I am not sure what works.

Inherits when terminating?

So it is synchronous. Maybe this could be mentioned before now.
