Subject: [PATCH] worker_thread: don't play with SIGCHLD
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 11:29:10 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070413072910.GA1522@tv-sign.ru> (raw)

depends on Eric's

	kthread-dont-depend-on-work-queues-take-2.patch

worker_thread() inherits ignored SIGCHLD from its parent, kthreadd.
We can remove unneeded do_sigaction().
