Its filename is signals-join-send_sigqueue-with-send_group_sigqueue.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: join send_sigqueue() with send_group_sigqueue() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> We export send_sigqueue() and send_group_sigqueue() for the only user, posix_timer_event(). This is a bit silly, because both are just trivial helpers on top of do_send_sigqueue() and because the we pass the unused .si_signo parameter. Kill them both, rename do_send_sigqueue() to send_sigqueue(), and export it.
