Subject: [PATCH -mm 1/3] call_usermodehelper: no need to unblock the signals
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 22:44:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100309214456.GA32617@redhat.com> (raw)

____call_usermodehelper() correctly calls flush_signal_handlers()
to set SIG_DFL, but sigemptyset(->blocked) and recalc_sigpending()
are not needed.

This kthread was forked by workqueue thread, all signals must be
unblocked and ignored, no pending signal is possible.
