Subject: [PATCH 3/6] call_usermodehelper: no need to unblock signals
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:47:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100315194739.GD10896@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100315194609.GA10896@redhat.com>
____call_usermodehelper() correctly calls flush_signal_handlers()
to set SIG_DFL, but sigemptyset(->blocked) and recalc_sigpending()
are not needed.
This kthread was forked by workqueue thread, all signals must be
unblocked and ignored, no pending signal is possible.
