Subject: [PATCH 02/14] signal: Factor out sig_blocked from sig_ignored
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2026 16:37:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87v7av3gc3.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <877bnb4uyw.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Fri, 03 Jul 2026 16:35:51 -0500")
Add a helper that spells out the logic of why both blocked
and real_blocked need to be consulted to see if a signal
is blocked.
