From caec4e8dc85e0644ec24aeb36285e1ba02da58cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 08:16:18 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix signalfd interaction with thread-private signals Don't let signalfd dequeue private signals off other threads (in the case of things like SIGILL or SIGSEGV, trying to do so would result in undefined behaviour on who actually gets the signal, since they are force unblocked).
