Subject: [PATCH 2/4] coredump: speedup SIGKILL sending
Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2006 02:06:28 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060406220628.GA237@oleg> (raw)

With this patch a thread group is killed atomically under ->siglock.
This is faster because we can use sigaddset() instead of force_sig_info()
and this is used in further patches.
