From ec5955b8fdc1b0bc62495e13869769be732cc6c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 14:36:57 -0700 Subject: signals: kill the obsolete sigdelset() and recalc_sigpending() in allow_signal() allow_signal() does sigdelset(current->blocked) due to historic reason, previously it could be called by a daemonize()'ed kthread, and daemonize() played with current->blocked. Now that daemonize() has gone away we can remove sigdelset() and recalc_sigpending(). If a user really wants to unblock a signal, it must use sigprocmask() or set_current_block() explicitely.
