-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Oleg Nesterov Spotted by Satoru Takeuchi. kill_pgrp(task_pgrp(current)) sends the signal to the current's thread group, but can choose any sub-thread as a target for signal_wake_up(). This means that job_control() and tty_check_change() may return -ERESTARTSYS without signal_pending().
