Did you check it was actually saved/restored by the signal code ?
Ben.
I looked up when XER gets saved/restored to save/restore MQ.
I tested my patch with
mqtest &
(start other programs which are 'MQ-enabled')
fg
^Z
...
and mqtest gave me the correct output.
I used the same principle to patch my 2.4 kernel and I'm running with the patch for over 3 months now.
If this isn't the answer you wanted, could you please point out what I should be testing?
Thanks
Stef
