Subject: [PATCH] signal: cleanup the .si_signo checks in dequeue_synchronous_signal()
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 12:48:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ats7j0mb3VF6lIg4@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261022061015.3737924-1-thnkslprpt@gmail.com>
- Use SI_FROMKERNEL() instead of open-coded check
- Use rt_sigmask() instead of sigmask() to avoid UB on 32-bit if
.si_signo > 32
- Pre-calculate the unblocked synchronous signal "mask" to not check
.si_signo twice.
