Hello.
The task_struct.shared_unblocked variable is unused.
The 'old_state' variable in try_to_wake_up() is unneeded.
The third recheck of rq->nr_running after load_balance()
in schedule() is unneeded. Compiler should optimize it,
but it looks slightly confusing (imho).
2.5.34 introduced this change in force_sig_info()
- return send_sig_info(sig, info, t);
+ return send_sig_info(sig, (void *)1, t);
I beleive, it is wrong, info can carry useful information
from do_page_fault, traps. And this (info *)1 does not
prevent send_signal() from allocation of siginfo struct.
Ingo, could you please clarify?
Oleg.
