From 7bb44adef39ad3bda2be40bb34686bc56bd563a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 13:57:44 -0700 Subject: recalc_sigpending_tsk fixes Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set. In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions. This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code. It changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead.
