The patch titled do_sigaction: remove now unneeded recalc_sigpending() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is do_sigaction-remove-now-unneeded-recalc_sigpending.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: do_sigaction: remove now unneeded recalc_sigpending() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> With the recent changes, do_sigaction()->recalc_sigpending_and_wake() can never clear TIF_SIGPENDING. Instead, it can set this flag and wake up the thread without any reason. Harmless, but unneeded and wastes CPU.
