The patch titled signal: retarget_shared_pending: consider shared/unblocked signals only has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was signal-retarget_shared_pending-consider-shared-unblocked-signals-only.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: signal: retarget_shared_pending: consider shared/unblocked signals only From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> exit_signals() checks signal_pending() before retarget_shared_pending() but this is suboptimal. We can avoid the while_each_thread() loop in case when there are no shared signals visible to us. Add the has_pending_signals(shared_pending, blocked) check. We don not use tsk->blocked directly but pass this sigset_t as an argument, this is needed for the next patch. Note: we can optimize this more. while_each_thread(t) can check t->blocked into account and stop after every pending signal has the new target.
