Moreover, as the signal handler infrastructure is first stopped when tipc module is removed, this may cause some potential risks for us. For instance, although signal handler is already stopped, some tipc components still submit signal requests to signal handler infrastructure, which may lead to some resources not to be released or freed correctly. So the series aims to convert all actions being performed in tasklet context asynchronously with interface provided by signal handler infrastructure to be executed synchronously, thereby deleting the whole infrastructure of signal handler. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
