I think to keep things easier to understand, we should say the rule is that
touching q->flags is always controlled by siglock when q is on a queue.
Before it's queued or after it's been dequeued (i.e. list_empty(&q->list)
with siglock held), then the "owner" of the struct sigqueue of course needs
noone's siglock.


Thanks,
Roland
