Subject: nfsd: treat all shutdown signals as equivalent
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~961^2~19
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=100766f8347c1aeb5a548c5c7aa9012f4a3276f1;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

nfsd: treat all shutdown signals as equivalent

knfsd currently uses 2 signal masks when processing requests. A "loose"
mask (SHUTDOWN_SIGS) that it uses when receiving network requests, and
then a more "strict" mask (ALLOWED_SIGS, which is just SIGKILL) that it
allows when doing the actual operation on the local storage.

This is apparently unnecessarily complicated. The underlying filesystem
should be able to sanely handle a signal in the middle of an operation.
This patch removes the signal mask handling from knfsd altogether. When
knfsd is started as a kthread, all signals are ignored. It then allows
all of the signals in SHUTDOWN_SIGS. There's no need to set the mask
as well.
