X-Git-Tag: next-20140530~2^2~68
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1248198874c778c19b53187e85b26f51d2aa1aca;p=karo-tx-linux.git

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.
