Its filename is signals-change-send_signal-do_send_sigqueue-to-take-boolean-group-parameter.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/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 The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: signals: change send_signal/do_send_sigqueue to take "boolean group" parameter From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> send_signal() is used either with ->pending or with ->signal->shared_pending. Change it to take "int group" instead, this argument will be re-used later.
