From 932aeafbe8521a9a9d790152d66020e0fef2029b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 15:02:17 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix de_thread vs it_real_fn() deadlock de_thread() calls del_timer_sync(->real_timer) under ->sighand->siglock. This is deadlockable, it_real_fn sends a signal and needs this lock too. Also, delete unneeded ->real_timer.data assignment.
