Hi,

I have a kernel module foo that uses kernel thread bar. With
signal_pending() I can easily check whether or not thread has
pending signals, but what's the correct way to check for the
specific signal number(s)?


I am not pretty sure, but spinlock;dequeue_signal;spinunlock; should work.

regards,
