Re: [patch 0/3] add rt_tgsigqueueinfo syscall [RESEND]

I don't see any rationale for rt_tgsigqueueinfo and rt_sigqueueinfo to
differ in their treatment of si_pid/si_uid (whatever that is).  It just
seems like common sense that they would match.

Oleg and/or Sukadev have some patches floating around (maybe all in -mm?)
that relate to setting those.
You mean having the same logic as we have in {t,tg,}kill syscalls for
rt_sigqueueinfo as well ?
I mean just what I said: rt_tgsigqueueinfo's treatment of the siginfo_t
should match rt_sigqueueinfo's.  Make it match rt_sigqueueinfo today and
make sure that if rt_sigqueueinfo changes, then rt_tgsigqueueinfo will
change to match.
Is there anything else which stands in the way of getting the
rt_tgsigqueueinfo interface merged ?
I don't see any problem.  But you should at least make sure that Ulrich
likes the syscall interface for implementing pthread_sigqueue or whatever
it will be.


Thanks,
Roland
