From 73a860cd58a1eb258e889b615cebf738ab33aa23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 10:28:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Replace flush_signals() with WARN_ON(signal_pending()) Currently, when RCU awakens from a wait_event_interruptible() that might have awakened prematurely, it does a flush_signals(). This is done on the off-chance that someone figured out how to deliver a signal to a kthread, which is supposed to be impossible. Given that this is supposed to be impossible, this commit changes the flush_signals() calls into WARN_ON(signal_pending()). Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Paul E.
