The patch titled Subject: signal: make unhandled_signal() return bool has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is signal-make-unhandled_signal-return-bool.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/signal-make-unhandled_signal-return-bool.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/signal-make-unhandled_signal-return-bool.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Christian Brauner <christian@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: signal: make unhandled_signal() return bool unhandled_signal() already behaves like a boolean function. Let's actually declare it as such too. All callers treat it as such too.
