[PATCH 1/3] tracehook: Add a return value to tracehook_notify_signal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The return value indicates if task_work_run has been called.
This knowledge can be of value to the caller. In particular, it allows
io_uring to easily replace calls to io_run_task_work with
tracehook_notify_signal when clearing TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is needed.
