Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org As I understand it, process asynchronous signals are to be delivered to "any thread that is not blocking the signal". This, of course, implies a process wide mask that keeps track of thread masks in such a way that one can determine when a thread is available for a particular signal. Before I start doing the needed code: a.) Is anybody already doing this? b.) Are there any comments on this issue. George
