[PATCH rc2-mm1] remove unneeded SI_TIMER checks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Depends on "cleanup the usage of SEND_SIG_xxx constants"
patch in the rc2-mm1 tree, filename is
	cleanup-the-usage-of-send_sig_xxx-constants.patch

This patch removes checks for ->si_code == SI_TIMER from
send_signal, specific_send_sig_info, __group_send_sig_info.

I think posix-timers.c used these functions some time ago,
now it sends signals via send_{,group_}sigqueue, so these
hooks are unneeded.
