From c8e85b4f4b9ee23bf0e79bdeb3da274a0f9c663f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 20:55:42 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] posix timers: sigqueue_free: don't free sigqueue if it is queued Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the "full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all. Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list if it is queued. This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value, and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits the number of posix timers.
