View Article[PATCH 00/11] cleanup/fix allow_signal/disallow_signal (no replies)
Hello. allow_signal() and disallow_signal() have the very strange (wrong actually) semantics. They mix/confuse "sigprocmask" and "sigaction" logic. This series tries to cleanup and fix them, plus...

Cosmetic, but siginitset(0) looks a bit strange, sigemptyset() is what do_sigtimedwait() needs. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> --- kernel/signal.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1...

The usage of "task_struct *t" and "current" in do_sigaction() looks really annoying and chaotic. Initially "t" is used as a cached value of current but not consistently, then it is reused as a loop...

jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does disallow_signal(SIGHUP) around jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() and the comment says "We don't want SIGHUP to interrupt us". But disallow_signal() can't ensure that...

disallow_signal() simply sets SIG_IGN, this is not enough and recalc_sigpending() is simply pointless because in can never change the state of TIF_SIGPENDING. If we ignore a signal, we also need to do...
View Article[PATCH 10/11] signals: introduce kernel_sigaction() (no replies)
Now that allow_signal() is really trivial we can unify it with disallow_signal(). Add the new helper, kernel_sigaction(), and reimplement allow_signal/disallow_signal as a trivial wrappers. This saves...

allow_signal() does sigdelset(current->blocked) due to historic reason, previously it could be called by a daemonize()'ed kthread, and daemonize() played with current->blocked. Now that...

"rm_from_queue_full" looks ugly and misleading, especially now that rm_from_queue() has gone away. Rename it to flush_sigqueue_mask(), this matches flush_sigqueue() we already have. Also remove the...
