[PATCH 3/3] signalfd: add ability to read siginfo-s without dequeuing signals (v2)

From: Andrey Vagin <hidden>
Date: 2013-01-29 19:05:57
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

If signalfd is created with the flag SFD_PEEK, it reads siginfo-s
without dequeuing signals.

For reading not first siginfo pread(fd, buf, size, pos) can be used,
where ppos / sizeof(signalfd_siginfo) is a sequence number of a signal
in a queue.

This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals.

v2: * signals can be dumped only from one queue.
    * treat pos as offset in bytes, not in elements, so pos should be
      aligned to the size of signalfd_siginfo.
