Re: [RFC, PATCH] signals: print_fatal_signal: fix the signr "calculation"

[Roland McGrath]

The intent of your change is to get the printk for each thread, right?
I don't really see the point.  The thread that actually had the fault will
dequeue a non-SIGKILL signal and report its status.  We only need one
thread per signal to the print-out.

Hmm.  I see that non-coredump signals that hit the optimized fatal case in
__group_complete_signal will cause every thread to have a pending SIGKILL.
So that will be seen first and prevent the print-out.  So that's what you
intend to change?

I'm not sure print-fatal-signals was really ever intended for non-coredump
signals.  It doesn't seem like it would be all that useful.  It's probably
even undesireable for every normal C-c killing something to cause a printk.


Thanks,
Roland
