Subject: Re: [PATCH] shrink task_struct by 16 bytes

>
> Shrink task_struct by replacing the notifier callback with a notifier
> list that allows for multiple clients to register notifiers. It also
> saves one cacheline on i386.
>
> The patch also renames the un/block_all_signals() functions to more
> descriptive names signal_notifier_add/del() and updates the kerneldoc
> comments accordingly. The only in-tree user (drm) is converted.

> Thanks to Christoph Hellwig for useful comments and review.
