Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] signal: turn the "bool force" arg of __send_signal_locked() into "int flags"
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 15:27:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ajVDzniRXROuyRgD@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ajVDrvY01xRW2x72@redhat.com>

No functional change. Preparation for the next patch which will add another
flag to fix the SA_IMMUTABLE signal evasion.
