Subject: [PATCH 01/14] signal: Generalize posixtimer_queue_sigqueue into enqueue_signal
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2026 16:36:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <871pdj4uxa.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <877bnb4uyw.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Fri, 03 Jul 2026 16:35:51 -0500")


send_signal needs to do all of the same work as
posixtimer_queue_sigqueue before calling complete_signal.  The only
difference is that send_signal might not allocate a sigqueue.

So generalize the code to handle an absent sigqueue and create
enqueue_signal.  Then use enqueue_signal in place of
posixtimer_queue_sigqueue and complete_signal.
