From 188a1eafa03aaa5e5fe6f53e637e704cd2c31c7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2005 13:22:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Make sure SIGKILL gets proper respect Bhavesh P. Davda noticed that SIGKILL wouldn't properly kill a process under just the right cicumstances: a stopped task that already had another signal queued would get the SIGKILL queued onto the shared queue, and there it would remain until SIGCONT. This simplifies the signal acceptance logic, and fixes the bug in the process. Losely based on an earlier patch by Bhavesh.
