Thanks, i've applied your patch to tip:core/signal, for v2.6.33 merge
(if it passes all tests).
I made a few (very small) changes, see the -tip commit notification
email in this thread with the final commit:
- Extended the functions so that we can print which precise signal got
dropped - app writers will likely want to know that
- Changed the message to:
task/1234: reached RLIMIT_SIGPENDING, dropping signal
which is slightly more informative.
- Cleaned up small cleanliness details in surrounding code that caught
my eyes.
- Changed a few variable and function names to be a tiny bit more
expressive.
- Pushed the print_fatal_printks check into the new utility function
(print_dropped_signal()), to not clutter __sigqueue_alloc()
needlessly.
- Clarified the commit log message a bit, gave sample output of the new
behavior.
Thanks,
Ingo
