From 281de339ceb822ca6c04d4373ecb9a45c1890ce4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:26:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] coredump: speedup SIGKILL sending With this patch a thread group is killed atomically under ->siglock. This is faster because we can use sigaddset() instead of force_sig_info() and this is used in further patches. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W.
