- signals-consolidate-checks-for-whether-or-not-to-ignore-a-signal.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The patch titled
     signals: consolidate checks for whether or not to ignore a signal
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     signals-consolidate-checks-for-whether-or-not-to-ignore-a-signal.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: signals: consolidate checks for whether or not to ignore a signal
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@xxxxxxxxxx>

Both sig_ignored() and do_sigactoin() check for signr to be explicitly or
implicitly ignored.  Introduce a helper for them.

This patch is aimed to help handling signals by pid namespace's init, and was
derived from one of Oleg's patches
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2007-December/009308.html
so, if he doesn't mind, he should be considered as an author.
