Subject: [PATCH 10/10] signal: Remove SEND_SIG_FORCED
Date: Mon,  3 Sep 2018 22:44:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180903204430.25473-10-ebiederm@xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87musyl3fa.fsf@xmission.com>

There are no more users of SEND_SIG_FORCED so it may be safely removed.

Remove the definition of SEND_SIG_FORCED, it's use in is_si_special,
it's use in TP_STORE_SIGINFO, and it's use in __send_signal as without
any users the uses of SEND_SIG_FORCED are now unncessary.

This makes the code simpler, easier to understand and use.  Users of
signal sending functions now no longer need to ask themselves do I
need to use SEND_SIG_FORCED.
