Subject: down_killable implementations for every architecture
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:19:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080128231918.GB31101@parisc-linux.org> (raw)
As part of the TASK_KILLABLE changes, we're going to need
down_killable(). Unfortunately, semaphores are implemented for every
architecture, which we should probably fix at some point.
On the plane ride down here, I did the necessary changes for each
architecture:
http://parisc-linux.org/~willy/down-killable/
I may have made mistakes. Things to check:
- The *_killable* functions should be exported for use by modules.
- The down_killable implementation needs to check fatal_signal_pending,
not signal_pending.
- The task state needs to be set to TASK_KILLABLE, not
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
It should only take a couple of minutes to verify your architecture.
