Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dequeue_synchronous_signal: kill the unnecessary still-pending check
Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 18:21:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ae47iWgKhqBaxiuY@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ae47bBSixfPpkQBm@redhat.com>

The signals in SYNCHRONOUS_MASK are not real-time signals, so at most
one instance can be queued. Add a static_assert() to ensure.

Remove the list_for_each_entry_continue() loop and simplify the code.
