From b17b0421d70f5b85a791afe145a16d5ca5f849aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2005 16:07:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] signal handling: revert sigkill priority fix This patch reverts commit c33880aaddbbab1ccf36f4457ed1090621f2e39a since it's not needed anymore. As pointed out by Roland McGrath the real fix is to deliver all signals before returning to user space. See http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0509.2/0683.html A fix for s390 has been merged.
