Subject: [PATCH] - UML - Eliminate signal order delivery dependency
Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2004 15:33:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200409141933.i8EJXM4W003542@ccure.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)

On 2.4 hosts signals are delivered in numeric order when there are multiple
pending at a given time.  UML developed a subtle dependency on this ordering,
which broke on 2.6 hosts and the separate process and thread signal queues.

This patch eliminates that dependency.
