Re: [PATCH 3/3] signalfd: add ability to read siginfo-s without dequeuing signals (v2)

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

Andrey, sorry for delay.

As for API, I leave this to you and Michael. Not that I like these
new flags, but I agree that pread() hack was not pretty too.

Now that this can work even with normal read(), we will actually change
f_pos. Then perhaps signalfd_fops->llseek() should work too. But this
is minor...

Hmm. but since it works with read(), we shouldn't increment *ppos unless
signalfd_copyinfo() succeeds?

Btw, why do you pass seq by reference? Looks unneeded.

Oleg.
