probably. Everything was very confusing to me from the very beginning.
And yes, I can hardly understand your emails, sorry. This one too :/

So you tried to explain why epoll_pwait() was designed? Or what?

Either way, everything I said below still looks right to me. This probably
means that I still can't understand you.

But this is irrelevant. My main point is that the kernel was correct before
854a6ed568 ("signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()"), the (incomplete) patch I sent
tries to a) restore the correct behaviour and b) simplify/cleanup the code.
