Subject: [PATCH 8/6] signals: send_signal: factor out SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT checks
Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 21:59:26 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080309185926.GA5649@tv-sign.ru> (raw)
The signal has no effect (but can provoke the unnecessary wakeup) if the
thread group is dying. Let's make this explicit and check SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
only once in handle_stop_signal() renamed to prepare_signal().
>From now the actual signal-delivery path doesn't need to take the special
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case into account.
